United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians
Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his
shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis
Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup. Director Johan Grimonprez
captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent
essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations
behind the 1961 assassination of Congo’s leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated
by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and
CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons,
Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that
resonates more than ever in today’s geopolitical climate.
A Kino Lorber release.
