Outstanding re-edited feature-length documentary-film of the original - which focuses on Latin music, rhythms, dance and the musicianship during the hey-day of the Palladium Ballroom in New York City from 1945-1966 when Mambo was at its peak! This is the era just before all Latin music was minimized to a single term "Salsa."
Impassioned musicians and dancers from the 50's and 60's and respected instructors of today give fantastic interviews. The film also features an outstanding soundtrack - and much more!
The original film titled Part I Original "La Epoca - The Palladium Era" (2008) created much controversy and features much more footage of interviews with the old-timers who spoke candidly about their strong opinion in contrast with how times were different then versus now. We felt it was necessary to give the old-timers a platform upon which they could finally get their experiences and stories told. Most have since passed away. We invite you to order the entire film collection - leave nothing out!
