This documentary from Henry Chalfant recognizes the Bronx for the hotbed of Latin-based music that it is. It chronicles the borough's creative history, its unique culture, and its currently hopping artistic community, placing an emphasis on the appropriation and ingenious interruption of Cuban rhythms in concocting New York's take on the salsa genre.
