About The Film
Renegade Queens is a documentary that brings the untold stories of the Bay Area’s women in Latin jazz and salsa to the forefront — the percussionists, horn players, vocalists, bandleaders, and composers who built a sound that has moved generations.
Through rare archival footage, intimate interviews, and electrifying live performances, the film honors the women who helped shape not only the Bay Area’s Latin music legacy but the cultural identity of the region itself.
These are stories of artistry and resistance — of women who claimed their place in a male-dominated scene, fought for visibility, and kept the groove alive through decades of social and political change.
Renegade Queens is more than a tribute. It’s a reclamation of history, voice, and power — a cinematic love letter to the women who played, taught, and led against the odds.
