Miguelito - Canto a Borinquen captures the raw energy of Puerto Rican culture in the '70s through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy. Zubrycki weaves a personal tale that feels both intimate and expansive, showing Miguelito's journey from a local airport to the vibrant salsa scene. The pacing reflects the rhythm of the music—sometimes quick, sometimes contemplative. The film pulls you into Miguelito's world with candid interviews and archival footage, and you can almost feel the sweat and excitement of those early performances. It’s less about polished production values and more about the heart and hustle of a young artist finding his place. The atmosphere is both nostalgic and poignant, making it a fascinating window into a pivotal moment in music history.
