From Mambo To Hip Hop A South Bronx Tale

From the man who directed the legendary Hip-Hop film 'Style Wars" this is a wicked documentary about the South Bronx and it's dual heritage of Latin music and Hip-Hop. Interviews and wicked old footage of Eddie Palmieri, Kool Herc, Tito Puente, Afrika Bambaataa, Machito and loads more. KILLER!

Documentary by Henry Chalfant about the musical history of New York's South Bronx, a borough that nurtured two major movements in popular music: the mambo that evolved into salsa, and the hip-hop that arose from the most desperate days of the South Bronx.
