Finally took the time (my internet connection was down...) to watch Johan Grimonprez' documentary "Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat".

If you're interested in #Africa #History #UN #Jazz it's really worth your time.

If you want to better understand what happened when #Congo "tried" #Independence from #Belgium in 1960, how USA conspired to kill #PatriceLumumba and why there was a war in #Katanga, then there's a lot in this documentary, while listening to good music.
