Karen gives us a tour of Monterrey, Mexico's famed Fundidora Park, filling us in regarding some of its history and attractions.

We have the debut music video from La Vida Bohème -- an Indy, punkish Venezuelan band with a bit of French in its name. Playing on roof tops in Caracas, the band delivers a subversive song in just a few words. And then they are kidnapped. "Viva la résistance," says the writing on the wall (also dropping in a bit of French). This is one band worth following.

Puerto Rican Draco Rosa, or Draco for short, sings about a promised paradise somewhere near the end of the world. You have to get there, his song explains. On the guitar, Draco is backed up by a bevy of stringed instruments that create a haunting effect. Part of the video is shot on Draco’s ranch in Puerto Rico, which makes you wonder… Does the promised land look like a tropical island?

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.

Colombian pop sensation Juanes sings this duet with Canadian superstar Nelly Furtado. The song gave each of them an award for best duet and Juanes one for best songwriter at the Latin Music Awards. This song is very clear, very easy, and repetitive using key vocabulary. Great for beginners!

Polbo used to play sixties cover songs in bars “de mala muerte” in Yabucoa by night, while studying physics at university by day. They began to write their own songs, which the crowds started to demand more than the covers. Keep an ear out for them!

Luis Miguel performs his famous tune, "La Bikina," which refers to a tormented woman. Composed by Ruben Fuentes, some say he coined the term after seeing women in bikinis during a walk on the beach, while others claim it was inspired by a legend during the times of the Cristeros in Jalisco, Mexico.

Despite having been inspired by a multitude of diverse subjects throughout his artistic career, Leonardo Rodriguez Sirtori's gallery owner asks him to compile an exhibition focusing on his dark-skinned portraits.

Artist Leonardo Rodriguez Sirtori speaks about his latest project, a series of portraits that celebrate the nuances of black skin.

Tour the Pyramids of Teotihuacán, a World Heritage Site within one of the most magical pre-Hispanic cities of Mesoamerica, near modern day Mexico City.

Karen gives us a quick tour of the Museum of Mexican History in Monterrey, Mexico, including exhibits spanning from the Pre-Hispanic Era to more modern times.

Although the Colombian version of The Wonder Years is based upon the well-known American series, Carlos explains to us some similarities and differences between the two versions.

Carlos introduces us to the Muiscas, one of the most developed pre-Columbian civilizations to inhabit the Cundiboyacense plateau in the central part of present day Colombia.

Our guide introduces us to the Cuzama haciendas, a hidden location in the Yucatan jungle where one can admire the remains of colonial haciendas formerly dedicated to the production of henequen, a type of Central American agave also known as sisal.

Claudia explains to us a bit about the architecture and history of the Mexican city of Merida on the Yucatan Peninsula.
