Why Amor A Ritmo De Go-Go; 1966
A classic of Mexican cinema that recalls the Mexican
rock and roll era
Starring: Javier Sols, Rosa Mara Vasquez, Leonorilda Ochoa, Eleazar "Chelelo" Garca, Ral Astor, Yolanda Montes.
The Mexican "Rocanrolero Phenomenon" (Mexico's Rock n Roll movement) of the 50’s & 60’s gave birth to great rock n roll garage bands and teenage movies. A classic era of Mexican music was the 60’s music scene, full of rebellious rocanrol music, parallel to the rebellious political movement of the 60’s against the PRI.
Amor A Ritmo De Go-Go is set in the top Mexican Go-Go clubs of the 1960s and is a classical Mexican teen and rock n roll film. If you dig "Hang On Sloopy" and "Wooly Bully," you'll love this movie! Rock n roll groups appearing include, Los Rockin' Devil's, Los Hooligans, and La Orquesta de Leo Acosta! Tons of cool songs including: "Hey Lupe," "Si Soy Graciosa," "Amor A Ritmo De Go Go," "Bule Bule," "Watussi Go-Go," "Que Flojera," "Go Go Tropical" and many more!
