Strut Records, In Association With Fania, Are Proud To Announce The 40th Anniversary Edition Of The Landmark Feature Film That Captured New Yorks Legendary Early 70s Latin Music Scene At Its Zenith,our Latin Thing (nuestra Cosa).filmed Around A Live All-star Concert By The Fania All-stars At One Of Promoter Ralph Mercados Fantastically Popular Thursday Night Jams At The Cheetah, The Film Transports The Viewer Right Back To A Heady Night On August 26, 1971. At The Time, There Had Been Little Documentation Of The Burgeoning Salsa Scene In New York, Despite Its Massive Popularity. Video Was Still Crude And Film Was Expensive To Shoot. However, Fania Founder Jerry Masucci Had A Vision Of Taking New York Latin Music From The Barrio To The World, And Put The Money Up To Make The Movie.
