An itinerant concert at the Mono Núñez gives people who could not otherwise attend the festival the chance to experience some of its music and festivities.

Our behind-the-scenes look at the Colombian Mono Núñez music festival continues with an interview with a group who plays Afro-Colombian music and, has opted to perform but not to enter the festival's contest.

Do the rules and restrictions associated with entering a contest like the Mono Núñez affect the musicians' artistic freedom? In this segment, our host and musicians examine that question.

This segment explores the extent to which the musicians at the Mono Núñez festival combine formal training with natural instinct to make their traditional Colombian music.

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.

There’s more to Miami than postcard-perfect beaches and pink drinks. These days, the city is a great melting pot – especially for Latin American and other Spanish-speaking folks – and there’s a thriving arts scene. As Antonio sees it, the annual art fair called Art Basel is the place to appreciate Miami’s great international flavor.

Sunny Miami is not only a touristic destination. Their beautiful beaches and their elegant buildings are the perfect set for the newest Latin American telenovelas.

We’re always curious about what goes on backstage. On a warm Miami night, we venture behind the scenes of La Mala Rodriguez’s great show. There we chatted with some friendly people who are making the musical magic possible.

People. People. People. We usually love them and that’s why we talk with them. People from Puerto Rico, people from Ecuador. It doesn’t matter if they are bleeding or in love. We just can’t stop talking to people!

Quite frankly, it’s not hard to find excellent Mexican food in Mexico City! Yet, we still consider ourselves lucky to have pulled into Fonda Mi Lupita while out foraging along Calle 17 de Mayo. We invite you to join us for a little chat with manager José Luis Calixto Escobar, completamente!

Maybe business is not as good as it used to be, but there are still plenty of hungry mouths to feed in Fonda La Lupita. As we can see, José, our friend and encargado, works six days a week and doesn’t have much free time on his hands.

Meet Francisco Javier from Albacete, La Mancha, Spain- the “Land of Don Quixote”- as he speaks to us candidly about the nature and challenges of his work in comprehensive building maintenance as well as about his hometown’s traditions and charm.

Francisco Pérez recites about Fray Luis de León (one of Salamanca’s most noted poets and thinkers), while standing in a courtyard in front of the friar’s statue.

Francisco Pérez talks about his life as a student in the Universidad Pontivicia’s other school, la Universidad de la Experiencia de Salamanca, a place where elders like himself become college students again.

You never know where you will find your next tour guide. There are those who have been assigned to you by your travel agent, and then there are those who assign themselves to you. Francisco Pérez, one of the oldest university students in this ancient university city, thoroughly enjoys sharing his local knowledge with visitors who share his passion.
