We Like It Like That


Born on the streets of East Harlem, the story of the boogaloo had premiered around the nation except in El Barrio, East Harlem where the musical genre was born. In alignment with PBS' America Reframed, we debuted the story of booglaoo, We Like It Like That ​in East Harlem with a public viewing in La Marqueta in the heart of the community. New York City's Council Speaker bestowed proclamations on boogaloo pioneers Joe Bataan, Johnny Colon and Harvey Averne while tweeting live from the event. Click on the photo & go to Season 4.
