Talented street artist and portrait painter, Carlos, from Bucaramanga, Colombia, talks to us about his process and passion for his work.

We had the chance to interview Spanish superstar Enrique Bunbury about his music, his art. The former Héroes del Silencio lead singer has been enjoying a successful solo career since 1996. Now he’s promoting his most recent album, Las consecuencias, which couldn’t be more different from his previous album.

“Reinvention” could be Enrique Bunbury's middle name. He’s a prolific composer, always finding inspiration in various books, movies, songs, and moods. And he thrives on creative collaborations. In the second part of YABLA’s exclusive interview, Bunbury opens up and tells us about the creative process behind his music.

Carlos and Angeles like to laugh! They may make you giggle, too, with their silly jokes and colorful expressions!

Angeles lives a normal life in Burgos, but what’s a normal life? She has a husband, a wonderful kid, and she works as a secretary. She also has a secret internet identity… as a Spanish teacher!

Noruego means “Norwegian,” hence a princesa noruega is a “Norwegian princess.” One arrived in Burgos, Spain on Christmas Eve, in the year 1257. She was to wed Prince Felipe, brother of King Alfonso X of Castile. Marry they did, but Cristina de Noruega fell ill and died at only twenty eight years old.

Charlie Pérez Acosta, a taxi driver from the Dominican Republic, tells us a bit about his job, his family, and the extremely touristic area, Cabarete Beach, in which he drives.

Marcos, a flying trapeze instructor at the circus school in Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, explains some of the tricks we can learn while on vacation there--along with learning Spanish!

Take a tour of the "La Leyenda" chocolate factory in Quito, Ecuador, where we gain insight into the various stages of chocolate production.

Have you ever thought how things would be if you could go back and undo some of your mistakes? Well, that’s what "Volver a comenzar" is about, this song by the Mexican band Café Tacuba dwells in the deepest corners of philosophy and human condition. But don’t worry, it never stops being a nice and catchy song!

This video is about all those things that make us different—they are many! But it doesn’t matter how different we are, Mexican band Café Tacuba has been around long enough to have a song for every taste! Artists of self-invention, they rock the house from Mexico City to Japan!

Puerto Rican half-brothers Residente (René Pérez Joglar) and Visitante (Eduardo José Cabra Martínez)—nicknamed for their respective roles in their weekly step-family visits to 13th Street—together make Calle 13. The music of Calle 13 is a sort of hip-hop/reggaeton with a sense of humor and playfulness. Watch out for the bleeped naughty words.

The kings of Alternative Reggeaton, Calle 13, are well known for their smart, fast and funny lyrics; they disrespect anybody and everybody. That’s why "Un beso de desayuno" is a surprise: for the first time we are tempted to leave off the viewer discretion sign in a Calle 13 video!

We asked Carli Muñoz if he’d play a few bars of his latest compositions, and, luckily for us, he obliged. One of the tunes, “Portrait of Mia,” was written for his brand-new hija, Mia. We’re wondering if he’ll ever address her as mi’ja.

“Rock en español” is what we refer to the relatively new movement of musicians from Spanish speaking countries singing in their native language. Back in the sixties and seventies, these musicians were taken up with rock like much of the rest of the world, but they sang in English. Puerto Rican Carli Muñoz explains while looking back over his career.
