“We Like It Like That”: The Story of Latin Boogaloo (2015)

We Like It Like That tells the story of a sound that redefined a generation and was too funky to keep down. Latin boogaloo is a bilingual mixture of R&B and Afro-Cuban rhythms and melodies, a colorful expression of 1960s Latino soul, straight from the streets of El Barrio, the South Bronx and Brooklyn. Starring legends like Joe Bataan, Johnny Colon and Pete Rodriguez, We Like It Like That explores this lesser-known, but pivotal moment in Latino music history, through original interviews, music recordings, live performances, dancing and rare archival footage and images. Introduction and discussion by Dr. Jonathan Borja (UW-L Department of Music)
