Synopsis
San Francisco's vibrant salsa and Latin jazz scene faces significant challenges as performers and audiences work to preserve their cultural heritage. The documentary traces the evolution of the Bay Area's Latin music community from the post-WWII era through the 1950s Mambo craze and the 1970s Salsa boom. Despite dwindling venues and audiences, local artists are actively reshaping Afro-Latin music and dance through educational initiatives and outreach efforts. Directed by Reginald Brown, "The Last Mambo" runs for 55 minutes.
