Our Latin Thing is more than a name in salsa history—it's a lens into the early 1970s NYC scene that helped launch salsa onto a global stage. Originating from the 1972 documentary directed by Leon Gast, Nuestra Cosa (Our Latin Thing) shines a spotlight on the Fania All-Stars and the vibrant performances at the Cheetah club. The accompanying soundtrack, released by Fania Records in 1972, features core tracks like Quitate Tu, Anacaona, and Descarga Fania, capturing the energy, rhythm, and improvisational spirit that defined a generation.
