This fall, theaters will screen Whitney Houston’s monumental concert in South Africa, which was organized in the wake of President Nelson Mandela’s historic election.
Houston’s 1994 concert has been transformed into a fully remastered theatrical release titled “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban),” according to a statement released on Tuesday by Sony Music Entertainment, Trafalgar Releasing, Houston’s estate, and other partners.
The late singer’s never-before-released act from Durban, South Africa, will be featured in the limited theatrical screening that opens on October 23. The initiative will precede the publication of “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban),” a new live CD, on November 8.
freedom, hope and unity. The proceeds from her concerts benefited numerous local South African children’s charities through her foundation.
Houston’s performance was remastered in 4K with improved audio for the movie. The musical film will be screened in over 25 countries and close to 900 theaters.
Three-time Emmy winner and 25-year Houston musical director Rickey Minor remarked, “It was my first time in South Africa, and I don’t think that I was truly prepared for how this trip would change me forever.” “As we celebrated the end of apartheid, the atmosphere was electrifying and the audience was amazing.” Whitney shone her light and gave love to others.
Houston had already won three Grammys that year, including album of the year for the soundtrack to “The Bodyguard.” For the huge smash “I,” she won best female pop vocal performance and record of the year “ I Will Always Love You.”
Houston sold over 200 million records worldwide during her 25-year career and won six Grammys, 16 Billboard Music Awards and two Emmys before her death in 2012.
Houston’s live album will include some of her greatest hits from “ I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “ How Will I Know,” “ I Have Nothing ” and “ Greatest Love of All ” It will also included the unreleased track ”Love Is.”
“The message of hope and unity from the Durban, South Africa performance is still as relevant today as it was 30 years ago,” said Marc Allenby, the CEO of Trafalgar Releasing. “Fans are going to be blown away by how powerful this is on the big screen.”
