Want to know what you didn’t know before? Here’s the first in our series of what you didn’t know about… electronic art. We talk to a veteran electronic artist who’s been playing around with computers since the old Commodore and Amiga machines connected to TV sets. He’s linking and looping, moving from one networked idea to the next. See if you can follow his rapid-fire monologue about his digital works.

These friendly and animated guys are hardworking chilangos. That’s how people from Mexico City are known around Mexico. Let’s share a bus ride with them and learn some slang about workers and working in and around Chilangolandia.

The more we know, the bigger the dark abyss of our ignorance seems to become. Don’t worry: We can’t understand all of what this guy is saying either. That’s why the name of the show is Lo que no sabías. Follow this fast-talker to learn a bit more about electronic art, audiorhythmic shock boxes, the first computers and more…

Let’s keep learning the Chilango slang. Ciudad de México, also knows as El Distrito or el D.F. is home to around 21 million people. Of course, they have to set themselves apart from people coming from other cities, and that’s why they created their own words, their own expressions. We went to share and learn with this nice construction crew, all of them very proud of being Chilangos.

There is always something going on in this house. Can you keep a secret? Now, Bernardo, a butler with a mean face, is plotting to take down his boss. And Mariposa believes there’s a baby on the way. Shhh!

Hiding under the desk at midnight sure seemed like a great idea, but in this house of deception, the best hiding places are crowded with devious schemers! What a tangled web of lies! Can you keep up?

We learn a little bit more about Morena’s background: as a soon-to-be bride in New York, she was left in the church waiting for her fiancé. Maybe that explains her close-to-a-nervous-breakdown behavior!

It seems that everyone in this house is a two-faced liar. What’s more, they don’t respect their elders, and some even plot to destroy their bosses. So, what keeps this place together? Have the webs of deception become so tangled that no one can escape? Or are some looking for honest love and acceptance despite it all?

A bloodied man? A naked woman? It’s amazing what you find in the jungle these days. Does Yago’s brother know the injured Frenchman? Is Yago and Morena’s second chance meeting a more auspicious one? There seems to be more than a spark of recognition when Yago throws his shirt to the bathing beauty…

Milagros continues her refinement lessons under the watchful eye of Grandma. Grandma might be old, but she is tough and willing to do anything to straighten Miss Millie out. But while one person is getting on the right path, another is straying from it.

Yago is a simple man from the jungle—a man of brave deeds but few words. When Yago meets Morena, a talkative city slicker, he doesn’t know what to make of her. But he does know how to save her from an attacking puma.

Calle 13 joins up with Cuba’s Orishas to sing a paean to those pobres who hike pa’l norte (northward) in search of a better life. The first 13 captions are very colloquial and difficult, but after that this video is very clearly annunciated with lots of great vocabulary, so hang in there! This song is thought-provoking and catchy. No one will ever accuse Calle 13 of taking a weak position in rhythm or in politics!

A wounded puma is an angry puma, and with that in mind, Yago and Ramón make a plan. Morena tells her puma attack story. Will Laura be as impressed as she was with Tarzan’s bravery? Yago is thinking about his deceased mother while Lucio is at his sister’s grave… but will mourning make Lucio’s illness worse?

En route, Juan and friends tell about working far from home. Not only are there financial obstacles, there are cultural differences as well that lead to some misunderstandings. Americans don’t quite understand the saying Mi casa es su casa. Pay attention the next time someone from Mexico tells you there’s a party at your house!

It’s so hard to just do your job: distractions and complications always get in the way. Marta accuses her mother, Socorro, of doing something disgraceful. Is it with Ramon that she committed this disgrace or with someone else? Or did she do it at all? Upset by this news, Lina blows off some steam. But is this problem worse than Madame Luisa’s drinking? Meanwhile, doing religious work seems to get passions stirring…
