Nominated for the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film, Mathew Ramirez Warren’s documentary We Like It Like That tells the story of Latin boogaloo, a colorful expression of 1960s Latino soul, straight from the streets of New York City. From its origins to its recent resurgence, it’s the story of a sound that redefined a generation and was too funky to keep down.
Starring Latin boogaloo legends like Joe Bataan, Johnny Colon and Pete Rodriguez, the film explores this lesser-known, but pivotal moment in Latin music history, through original interviews, music recordings, live performances, dancing and rare archival footage and images. From its origins to its recent resurgence in popularity, We Like It Like That tells the story of a sound that redefined a generation and was too funky to keep down.
