2026 Hispanic Heritage Month Film Festival Screening: La Salsa Vive

Directed by Juan Carvajal. From its Afro-Cuban roots in 1960s New York to the dance floors of Cali, Colombia, this documentary traces salsa as a living, border-crossing cultural force. Featuring Rubén Blades, Henry Fiol, and Willie Rosario alongside dancers, collectors, and young enthusiasts, the film is a joyful exploration of how a genre born from migration and mestizaje continues to build community across generations.
