IMHO this will never be reproduced again in NY city or the Bronx...everything has changed and with it immigration as well...there are now almost as many Mexican Americans in the Bronx as there are Puerto Ricans, who once dominated the Bronx, hence all the clubs that existed, existed because of the music, the Latin personalities/bands of the time(Predominantly Puerto Rican)..which are now all gone...only a few still exist today..El Gran Combo, Johnny Pacheco, Sonora Poncena, Ralphy Levitt y La Selecta, and very few others...
