The Last Mambo

The Last Mambo explores the San Francisco Bay Area’s (SFBA) Latin music scene. In the 1930’s musicians of color played in racially segregated areas. The 1950’s Mambo craze and integration expanded their world. Since 2000, gentrification has closed many clubs. But musicians are transforming the future through education and community outreach. The film celebrates their creativity and resilience.
