In this continuation of our African Revolutions and Decolonization series, we bring back two returning guests, Gerald Horne and Anthony Ballas, to discuss the documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat, the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, and the U.S.'s "jazz ambassadors". A really stimulating discussion, we highly recommend you also check out our other episodes focused on the Congo to orient yourself historically here - The Congo - From Colonization Through Lumumba & Mobutu and The Situation in Congo - From Mobutu to M23 Rebels Today (both with Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja) and Mining the Congo w/ Josaphat Musamba, Germain Ngoie Tshibambe, & Ben Radley.

We also recommend you check out the previous episodes we have done with Dr. Horne, which include - Histories of Resistance in LA from 60's to Today, Texas and the Roots of U.S. Fascism, and The Counterrevolution of 1776
