As we reach the finals stage of the Mono Núñez festival in Colombia, our host attempts to create a "Latin American integration" as well as continuing to explore the individual journeys of the participating groups.

One day, when Guillermina and Candelario were playing, a very strong wind dragged them out to the open sea, taking them to the "Island of Snakes." Listen as they tell their grandfather about their adventures.

Guillermina and Candelario enjoy an action-packed day at the amusement park with their grandpa.

Learn how to make "aborrajados," or ripe plantain fritters, a scrumptious Colombian dish.

Guillermina and Candelario tell their grandpa about an exciting adventure that they had one day on the beach including a television and a mischievous stingray.

Guillermina and Candelario go to the beach... to watch television! But, can they agree on what to watch?

Although the World of Lost Toys seems magical at first, Guillermina and Candelario soon realize its shortcomings and plot their escape from it and from the Vine, who looks after the toys there. But, can they find another, happier solution?

When Candelario loses his bike, he and Guillermina's discovery of a secret passage leads them not only to it, but also to a magical new World of Lost Toys.

When the events following their initial shock lead to friendship with an eel they encounter in the river, Guillermina and Candelario learn not to judge a book by its cover.

Guillermina and Candelario enjoy the afternoon sailing on a boat. Grandpa talks about the importance of learning to laugh at yourself. Guillermina will soon have the chance to prove that she can follow her wise grandpa's advice.

New York has the Hudson; Paris has the Seine; London has the Thames. Rivers were important in the building of these cities: they were commercial routes and also a source of food. Aterciopelados (in English, literally “The Velvety Ones”) the well-known Colombian band, remind us of the importance of our rivers with the title song of their socially conscious album Río.

Guess who was voted the best new band in the world in 2009? Drum-roll, please… Our friends Bomba Estéreo! Yabla met them back when they were the opening act of (the also great and friendly) ChocQuibTown. Since then, Bomba Estéreo have been spreading like fire all over America and Europe.

Shakira certainly knows something of the change-up life. A Colombian, she lives in the Bahamas, dates an Argentinian, switched to English, was a brunette, is now a blonde. In this video for “Gitana” (Gypsy), watch her flirt with Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal as she tells us what fans already know.

The old saying goes “Hijo de tigre, sale pintado”. Literally, it means the baby tiger is going to bear the same marks as his father. But it also means that there are some things we inherit and carry with us. Here, Aterciopelados is singing about leaving some inherited, violent habits behind.

What if you took a bunch of musical aces from Bogotá and asked them to cook up a picante take on the Led Zeppelin classic “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You”? Wonder no longer…
