EXCELLENT documentry!!! My only complaint is that is forgets the tango craze of the early 20th Century and ignores the urban U.S. Latino genre of FREESTYLE which was popular with Latino youth during the 80s and 90s. Stars like Johnny O, Geroge Lamond, Judy Torres, Cynthia, TKA, etc. gave us countless electro-pop "heartthrob" melodies that continue to be listened to by the younger Hispanic generations to this day... Still a great documentry though...
