Jazz and decolonization are intertwined in a powerful narrative that recounts one of the tensest episodes of the Cold War. In 1960, the UN became the stage for a political earthquake as the struggle for independence in the Congo put the world on high alert. The newly independent nation faced its first coup d'état, orchestrated by Western forces and Belgium, which were reluctant to relinquish control over their resource-rich former colony. The US tried to divert attention by sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to the African continent. In 1961, Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba was brutally assassinated, silencing a key voice in the fight against colonialism; his death was facilitated by Belgian and CIA operatives. Musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach took action, denouncing imperialism and structural racism. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev intensified his criticism of the US, highlighting the racial barriers that characterized American society.

In postwar Czechoslovakia, the image of the Slovak National Uprising (SNP) was subordinated to the ideological needs of the Communist Party and the objective interpretation only allowed the free conditions after 1989. While in the Czech countries this event disappears from general awareness, for Slovaks, it remains a key aspect of modern history. The current interpretation describes the insurrection not only as a Slovak struggle with fascism and German Nazism, but also as a duel about the form of the next Czech-Slovak relations.
