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.

ChocQuibTown is a name everyday more common on Colombian airwaves and dance floors. Their mix of traditional rhythms from el Pacífico with hip-hop elements and a heavy dose of “funky” is earning them a place on the playlists of both young listeners as well as a more traditional audience. In this Yabla-exclusive interview, we had the chance to chat with the band about where, exactly, it’s all at.

Milagros, aka Cholito, aka Mili, gets glum about being a rata traicionera.
Bobby laughs it up at Ivo who now owes money to both Bobby and Millie. What better way to aflojarse a little than to go dancing?

Milagros comes clean about how she found out about the bet between Ivo and Bobby. Despite advice to sleep, Cholito leaves behind her fútbol playing personality and pigtails for the Mili of the night life when she decides to salir a bailar.

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.

Being a rebel is an undeniable part of becoming a rock star, and that’s something that Carli Muñoz couldn’t avoid when he was a kid. He had a head full of music, but little patience for music lessons. Lucky for him, the owner of the instrument store let him pound out his own musical education on the store piano.

It’s a slow night at Amelia’s little casa de tolerancia. Gloria takes off to see her son, Luchi, and Soledad disappears with young Carlos, who has once again arrived with a pocket full of pesos. Amelia finds that she has an itch in her stockings, and an obliging Raymond is beckoned to scratch it (while the great José Luis Perales once again sets the mood).

Mili is dressed to kill, ready to go to the bailante to meet Lina. Bobby and Ivo are already there dancing. Ivo blows off steam by telling Bobby that he’ll have his grandmother get rid of the source of his problems, who then shows up. What will happen next?

Arturo Vega is a big part of The Ramones’ history. We even have proof! Actually he was the one who designed the well known Ramones’ logo, which is one part presidential seal, one part outlaw biker. In this interview he tells us why they chose to be represented by an aguila.

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.

Off-screen, Natalia Oreiro’s love life sounds a lot less complicated than her on-screen characters’. After her six-year relationship with fellow actor Pablo Echarri ended amicably, she found love with the front man of the band “Divididos,” Ricardo Mollo, with whom she had more in common with than people seem to think.

There’s a long way from the coffee tree to a delicious cup of coffee. Here’s where we start our Yabla-exclusive journey to unveil the secrets of world-famous Colombian coffee. Our first episode takes us inside a central warehouse where coffee from several Colombian regions undergoes a strict process of quality control.

Una pulga is a flea. “Un mercado de pulgas” is, of course, a flea market. We go on a spirited tour of Bogotá’s flea market where our guide shows us antique items we never knew we needed.

Some people say that rock ‘n roll is half attitude and half talent. We already know that Carli had enough disrespect for the rules to make it and in this video he makes it clear that he has enough respect for the music to complete the equation.

The quest for an excellent cup of coffee continues. Now we’re in the lab working to get rid of impurities by threshing and selecting the best coffee beans.
