Artist Johan Grimonprez\u2019s new film essay stems from detail\u00aded rese\u00adarch about some of the machi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adons the Western colo\u00adni\u00adal powers, such as his nati\u00adve Belgium or the US<\/span>, came up with to under\u00admi\u00adne the African deco\u00adlo\u00adniza\u00adti\u00adon move\u00adment. It spe\u00adci\u00adfi\u00adcal\u00adly reex\u00adami\u00adnes the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then Zaire) and its strugg\u00adle for inde\u00adpen\u00addence in the con\u00adtext of the CIA<\/span>\u2019s histo\u00adry of arts patro\u00adna\u00adge, tel\u00adling how the US<\/span> Foreign Intelligence agen\u00adcy sent Louis Armstrong as a jazz ambassa\u00addor to dis\u00adtract from their invol\u00advement in the ass\u00adas\u00adsi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of new\u00adly elec\u00adted Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. Nina Simone was sent on a simi\u00adlar tour of Nigeria by a CIA<\/span> front orga\u00adniza\u00adti\u00adon, yet other jazz gre\u00adats got invol\u00adved less unwit\u00adtingly. Dizzy Gillespie brief\u00adly ran for pre\u00adsi\u00addent in 1964 and pro\u00admi\u00adsed that the White House would be ren\u00ada\u00admed the Blues House, while Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach cra\u00ads\u00adhed the UN<\/span> Security Council to pro\u00adtest Lumumba\u2019s ass\u00adas\u00adsi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon. Both a his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adcal pam\u00adphlet and a swin\u00adging musi\u00adcal com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adon, SOUNDTRACK<\/span> TO<\/span> A COUP<\/span> D\u2019ETAT<\/span> unfolds like a record\u2019s exten\u00adsi\u00adve slee\u00adve notes, as the jazz sounds pro\u00adpel and car\u00adry along facts, figu\u00adres and foot\u00adno\u00adtes of major and minor his\u00adto\u00adries with them at diz\u00adzy\u00ading speed.
