The Greatest (1978)
Mandrill was asked to perform on all the fight scenes in Ali's movie.The single was Ali Bumbaye co-written by all the band members. The movie was a big hit in Europe but bombed here.
Neftali said he had a great time meeting Ali and his family and also Michael Masser's family and was thankful to be apart of the experience.
Ali joked and kidded around with the band and was very interested in the music. The band also brought our families in to meet Ali. Mandrill was given the original chant from the Ali Foremen Zaire fight in Africa. It was looped to play over and over.
