In 1994, Whitney Houston took the stage in Durban, South Africa, making her the first major Western musician to visit the newly unified, post-apartheid nation following President Nelson Mandela’s winning election. This performance was more than a concert; it was a celebration of freedom, hope, and unity. Whitney’s powerhouse voice and emotional delivery brought joy and inspiration to a country newly liberated.

Now, 30 years after the historic visit, The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban) comes to the big screen for the first time. Digitally remastered in 4K and featuring newly-enhanced audio, the film captures every note, every cheer, every tear, immortalizing a night that transcended music and became a beacon of change and celebration.

will it be on streaming services? i love her music

There's an album being released in November apparently.
There's also mention of it on Spotify.
Go see it in the cinema though!

with all her songs?
if it school holidays i wait, hate going in the cinema when theres full of kids

The expected playlist has most of the hits except sadly:
Love Will Save the Day
I'm Your Baby
All the Man

Apparently Love Will Save the Day will be on the album release though.

I can't imagine kids going to see a Whitney Houston concert tbh.

It's in cinemas October 23rd and 27th.

we dont have hoyts where iam, only hoyts is 2 hours D= we have event cinemas.

The other problem is that it is just a recording, it's not Whitney herself aged 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 31, 36 or even for that matter the last time magic came from her mouth 39 coming to personally visit you and sing to you one to one in your house.

They have not arranged that sadly.

Hmmmmm.

I picked up a pre-order last night on a previously unreleased Whitney record, limited edition 2000 copies only vinyl, officially on sale on Black Friday.
I suspect it was some kind of balls up this retailer putting it on sale briefly.
Hope they fulfill the order!
(I should have ordered 2 but never mind)

Literally 12 days to go.

12 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They ought to have given everyone one drop of her perspiration.
Oh how I would have worshipped my drop.
I would literally have married my drop.

WHEN I

THINK OF YOU BABY

LOVE CAN DO

I GET SO

EM

O

TION

AL

THINK OF YOU BABE

From someone who attended the press preview

"You do get swept away with the concert and if you’ve never seen Whitney live, this is a credible close second when seen on the big screen."
