Universally known as the Queen of Salsa Celia Cruz is one of the creators and major influences of Afro-Cuban music. A winner of a Grammy'' Award together with other internationally renowned artists signed to the famed record label Fania they toured extensively as the Fania Allstars. The Fania label was set up in 1964 and became a unique record of modern salsa. In 1974 Celia Cruz & the Fania Allstars were invited to take part in a 3-day festival in celebration of black sports and entertainment in Kinshasa Zaire. Their original performance on the first day caused such... a hysterical response from the audience that they were invited back two days later for an encore performance. The concert was part of the infamous Rumble in the Jungle title fight between the reigning champion George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. Their phenomenal performance to an audience of 80 000 people at the Stadu du Hai was shot in 35mm on six cameras by director Leon Gast (who won an Academy Award for When We Were Kings.)
