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.

Meet Rubén Blades, a Salsa superstar. He helped mix Cuban and Caribbean rhythms with Jazz in New York City. Rubén Blades (or, Rubencito here among friends) composed some salsa classics while also excelling as a singer. But that’s not all. Moviegoers may recognize him as one of the victims in Predator 2. He also has a law degree and ran for president of Panama. When this video with Calle 13 was filmed, he was Panama’s Tourism Minister.

Collecting, restoring and “souping up” Volkswagens is a passion shared by Latin Americans from Baja to Buenos Aires. They love the mechanics and the mechanical lingo. But what’s as clear as the Adicora sky, is that what keeps them united is not pipes and motors but friendship.

Political campaigns are tough (and they can get even tougher after the voting). In this video documenting Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s presidential race, we learn some of the tricks of the trade in Mexico.

Lo hecho está hecho means “What’s done is done,” and what’s done is another international hit from the bilingual diva from Barranquilla. The English language version is called “Did It Again,” and what it did was to give Shakira her 10th consecutive top-40 hit in the UK.

This video smells good! Meet Miguelito who is going to introduce us to the rich flavors of Colombian food. Run to your kitchen and get some garlic, tomatoes and onions -essential ingredients in Colombian cuisine!

Milagros and Evo can’t stand each other…. Or maybe they can’t stand to be apart from each other. It seems that everybody is struggling to find their other half or, like our Argentinian friends would say, their media naranja.

The most famous Colombian hips belong to Shakira. In this video we see a lot of the sensual dance and catchy music that have made Shakira’s name known throughout the whole world. Beware the full moon when this lovely she-wolf is on the prowl.

After the party, there’s a lot of cleaning up to do. Milagros feels used, Ivo feels compelled to ask for Milagros’ dismissal and the house is a mess.

Explosive rhythms and politically incorrect lyrics are part of what made Calle 13 an international superstar. This song "Atrévete-te-te" is one of their first hits that made people turn their heads and move their hips all over the dance floor.

This house is full of hateful snitches, corrupted business people and even conniving gold-diggers. Lies, secrets, blackmail and bribes abound. Will we find any beauty in this place?

This is the aftermath of a fairytale evening: a couple broke up and someone suddenly regained his mobility. Meanwhile, Millie enjoys a well deserved sleep. Doesn’t she look like La Bella Durmiente?

It’s been a long night, but the drama continues. Federico apologizes to Luisa for his latest outburst, but soon he realizes that things are worse than he thought. Meanwhile, Ivo and Milagros finally sit and talk, but their conversation is far from cordial. So much hatred and vengeance under one roof!
