Miriam Makeba perform Quongqothwane also known as the click song during the festival "Zaire 74". Taken from the documentary movie "Soul Power" about the festival. It was a three day live music festival that took place on September 22 to 24,1974 at the 20th of May Stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). The concert, conceived by Hugh Masekela and record producer Stewart Levine, was meant to be a major promotional event for the heavyweight boxing championship match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, known as "The Rumble in the Jungle". Featured performers included top R&B and soul artists from the United States such as James Brown, Bill Withers, B.B. King, and The Spinners as well as prominent African performers such as Miriam Makeba, TPOK Jazz, and Tabu Ley Rochereau. Other performers included Celia Cruz and the Fania All-Stars.

Miriam Makeba canta Qongqothwane conosciuta come click song durante una delle più grandi manifestazioni musicali della storia dell'Africa conosciuta come "Zaire 74". Il video è stato preso dal film documentario sul festival "Soul Power". Il festival si tenne dal 22 al 24 settembre nello stadio di Kinshasa. L'evento fu organizzato da Hugh Masekela e Stuart Levine per volere del presidente Mobutu, che aveva deciso di sfruttare la risonanza internazionale dell'incontro di Ali e Foreman per celebrare ufficialmente la nuova costituzione dello Zaire di fronte agli occhi del mondo. A partecipare all'evento furono chiamati stelle della musica di livello mondiale, come James Brown, Bill Withers, B.B. King, i The Spinners ed anche gli artisti più eminenti della scena africana come Miriam Makeba, TPOK Jazz, e Tabu Ley Rochereau. Nella Line Up c'era anche Celia Cruz accompagnata dai favolosi Fania All-Stars.

Jeune, on écoutait beaucoup Harry Belafonte chez moi. Il nous a présenté Odetta et Miriam Makeba. Deux chanteuses qui demeurent indissociables dans ma mémoire et dans mon coeur
