We Like It Like That tells the story of Latin boogaloo, a colorful expression of 1960s New York City Latino soul. 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. Latin boogaloo fused R&B, doo-wop, and soul with mambo and other Caribbean styles and polyrhythms, creating a vibrant sound that originated on the streets of New York and went on to move hips all around the world. Reflective of the civil-rights struggles happening at the time, Latin boogaloo musicians openly challenged the powers that be and buttoned-up record labels. it's a fascinating piece of musical history told through rare concert footage and visits to the old neighborhood with living legends Johnny Colon, Bobby Marin, and Joe Bataan.
