### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant and insightful film....
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2012*

From Mambo to Hip Hop is a great example of superb documentary storytelling, at its best. The director, Henry Chalfant, takes great look at the changing face of the diverse South Bronx, and how it is incomparable to any other neighborhood - it is truly one of a kind. We see the up-and-coming years of the mambo, beautifully presented through interviews, grainy footage of fiery dancers, and what the dance and music truly mean to those for whom it bares special significance. We see the early break dancers, the Zulu Nation participants who first got a taste of hip hop, break dancing and record scratching in the 1970s. Deejay Charlie Chase (Wild Style) provides us with some of the strongest insight into how he broke into the record spinning role, in an African American dominated subculture, as someone of Puerto Rican descent. He decided to choose a culturally neutral name, in an effort not to alienate his audience.I love the flavor, here, the footage, the music and how we are educated, here. I plan to visit that community, some day - good film to cut your teeth on. Brilliant, even.

    History, politics, social commentary & music rolled into one!
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2011*

I ordered this to use in my Hip Hop course and it is perfect. It provides a nice introduction to the contributions of Latinos to Hip Hop. But I appreciated the indepth discussion of the relevance of mambo and salsa. It also addresses the importance of Puerto Rican and Cuban migration- particularly focuses on Afro Cuban contributions- to the development of the South Bronx as a cultural space. This is a well done documentary that features individuals that played significant roles in mambo, salsa and Hip Hop- including musicians, dancers, politicans, former gang members, and others.

    Superb documentary
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017*

This documentary does a fantastic job of covering an essential, but little known, chapter of American cultural history. If you're interested in Hip Hop, Latin music, the Bronx, or American culture in general, this is a must viewing.
