Soundtrack to a coup d'état

Castellane

Imagine jazz legends storming the UN Security Council: that's exactly what Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach did in 1961, protesting the assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. This documentary concert traces a wild Cold War episode where music became political weapon and Louis Armstrong was deployed as CIA cover.
