Hannelore tells us the exciting details of her two most recent circus acts: a laser show and a magic act in which she performs with her brother.

Since the age of four, Mirella has worked in different circuses doing different acts. Let's hear about her history in the circus, the challenges of her current speciality, hula hoop, the effect that an audience's reaction can have on circus artists and more.

As a member of the eighth generation of a circus family originally from Guatemala, Lucas always dreamed of working abroad. His dream came true, and, after visiting a multitude of countries, he got his current job at Circus Berlin, where he performs on the dangerous and daring Wheel of Death.

In the second part of his video, Lucas expounds upon the mental and physical challenges of performing his Wheel of Death act in the circus as well as explaining why being a clown is harder than it seems.

The Puerto Rican rockers Circo never do explain what the accidente was exactly, but it doesn’t make this music video any less entertaining to hear. Lead singer Fofé (aka José Luis Abreu, formerly of El Manjar de los Dioses) sounds at times like a latin Robert Smith of the Cure. But maybe it’s the other way around, since Smith is said to be a fan....

How hard is your cáscara? Here Circo’s José Luis “Fofé” Abreu sings about a certain someone with the power to crack his. Note that cáscara is mostly used for eggs and nuts, whereas the shell of a turtle would be caparazón and that of a snail would be concha.

Have you ever had una sospecha (a suspicion)? Puerto Rico’s Circo explores restless uncertainty and mines a treasure chest of carnivalesque imagery from the world of Santeria, that mix of African deity worship and Catholicism that sprouted after African slaves arrived on the shores of the new world.

Can you tomar en serio a group called Circo? This Puerto Rican rock band gives us advice about how to leave behind bad moments at the speed of light. But should we trust them? What if they are payaseando?

Cienfue is a charismatic Panamanian singer. He manages to have a rock star attitude and still be a nice guy. We know: we had a chance to meet him. Make sure to visit his webpage.

There’s a lot to love about Panama’s Cienfue. Take this great song and its even better video. It makes you want to walk right into the ocean to play guitar underwater on a sunny day, doesn’t it?

Cienfue is an alternative folk guitarist and singer who mixes Panama's peculiar folklore with alternative rock and social lyrical content. Here is the official video of "La décima tercera", a song that is part of his 2010 album La calma y la tormenta (The Calm and the Storm).

Chus shares with us some poetry by two of her favorite writers, revered Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, and Argentinean poetess, Alejandra Pizarnik.

Christhian presents us with his rendition of "Temblando" by "Hombres G."

Beautiful Panama has been promoted to tourists with the slogan “Se queda en tí” (“It stays with you”). Panamanian waters are great for surfing, for fishing and for floating around and chatting. Let’s meet Cholito, one of the locals, who will show us around in his boat!
