This music-filled film documents how one New York City borough produced some of the most influential music styles in America.

9-10 p.m.: VOCES: From Mambo to Hip Hop: A South Bronx Tale - This musical panorama examines the rhythms that blossomed in the South Bronx from the late 1940s when mambo burst onto the scene through the birth of hip hop in the '70s. It chronicles two generations that grew up on the same streets and used rhythm as their form of rebellion - the older generation took their sound from Cuba and their children created rap. The film features such celebrated artists as Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Benny Bonilla, Willie Colon, Africa Bambaata, Kool Herc, and Kid Freeze. (Premiere) (FB: Thursday, September 14 at 2 a.m.)
