Does Felipe Calderón love his children? We are quite sure that he does. If this promotional video for the possible heir to fellow PANista Vicente Foxe seems to you to have a “North of the border” slickness, it may not be simply coincidental.

Harvard-educated Felipe Calderón, who the New York Times calls “a dapper man who speaks with all the fire of an economist,” is perceived as the safe, business-friendly presidential candidate. This video carefully cultivates a persona antithetical to the rougher-hewn López Obrador.

The trio Fase is hailed as a pioneer in “tropical electronica”. The wonderfully sweet voice of Alma Velasco helped make this plaintive song a favorite among pop fans on both hemispheres. Excellent electro-pop with simple and very clear lyrics that repeat many key words, super for beginners.

Although one language unites the people from all Spanish-speaking countries, it is useful- and fun- to become familiar with the different vocabulary and expressions utilized by Spanish speakers from various nations.

This classic Mexican western begins with a boy and his godfather discussing bravery. We all experience fear, but we mustn’t be dominated by it, says the godfather. The boy is just getting over hepatitis, and is eager to accompany the doctor back to town…

The Beltrans and the Landeros are taking over all the land in the area, so a friendly favor is asked: to keep watch over a deed title. Back in town, the young Valente is bullied by two bigger boys; but someday, the young boy swears, he’ll get back at them. Meanwhile, shopping for a wedding dress causes some confusion.

While Mr. Valente reveals to the shapely shopkeeper whom he’s intending to marry, his son is being tormented by bullies.

Why is Mr. Valente having drinks with his son’s bullies? He’s trying to teach them a lesson. But the lesson soon gets lost in the gun fire, with two men down.

With Mr. Valente shot, several souls are left not knowing exactly what to do. The camera cuts back and forth between his son and his fiancee as a heart-wrenching rendition of "Ruega por Nosotros" ("Pray for Us") is sung.

The young Valente is becoming a man, cared for by his dear padrino (godfather). Years of target practice are paying off for the aspiring gunslinger. Wonder how he’ll put his skills to use?
