Libia from the Castell D'age Winery in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain shares with us about the industry and production of some of Spain's great cavas and wines.

In Hello Chamo, a song by Venezuelan singer Félix Carlos, he takes us on a tour of the streets of New York as he encounters some of his fellow Venezuelans— some of them well-known— who also live in the city. The rhythm of the song is the traditional Calypso from the El Callao municipality, a festive beat that contrasts his sad narration about immigration.

Felipe Calderón is running for president of Mexico as the candidate of PAN, Partido Acción Nacional. “The National Action Party” is also the party of Mexico’s current president, Vicente Fox. Felipe’s campaign slogan? Para que Vivamos Mejor, “So we can live better.” We know there must a word play parody of this phrase, but we haven’t found it yet!

Does Felipe Calderón love his children? We are quite sure that he does. If this promotional video for the possible heir to fellow PANista Vicente Foxe seems to you to have a “North of the border” slickness, it may not be simply coincidental.

Harvard-educated Felipe Calderón, who the New York Times calls “a dapper man who speaks with all the fire of an economist,” is perceived as the safe, business-friendly presidential candidate. This video carefully cultivates a persona antithetical to the rougher-hewn López Obrador.

Federico Kauffman Doig began his career at the Museo Rafael Larco Herrera as a security guard. Today he is president of that institution and one of the world’s most respected archeologists, as well as a delightful and engaging speaker! This program originally appeared on Televisión Nacional del Perú as part of the esteemed artistic series, Presencia Cultural.

Federico was something of a wanderer in his early days, and describes himself as having been a “pre-hippy.” His father, intent that his son be something other than a vagabundo, probed Federico for any hint of passion, any calling. “It’s called archeology!” he yelled upon hearing that the young man enjoyed exploring ancient ruins.

If you are not yet a fan of Señor Doig, you don’t have a pulse! His jungle expeditions have led to the discovery of everything from the anatomically-blessed Pinchudos statues to the giant upright mummies found in a site known as Carajía. We’re ready for an expedition!

Federico Kauffman Doig has received the highest title the Peruvian government gives in honor of cultural achievment, Amauta. Sweden and Austria have also bestowed him with awards and titles. So is he ready to join the ranks of jubilados? No way! He still explores cliffs 4000 meters high and has far too many unfinished essays to even consider it for un momentito.

The trio Fase is hailed as a pioneer in “tropical electronica”. The wonderfully sweet voice of Alma Velasco helped make this plaintive song a favorite among pop fans on both hemispheres. Excellent electro-pop with simple and very clear lyrics that repeat many key words, super for beginners.

Sebastián Estebanez is loved throughout the world for his fine work in telenovelas such as Pasiones Prohibidas and Pensionados. Now Marley, the ubiquitous personality of Argentine television, is daring Sebastián to munch on a delicious cockroach, just as Marley himself did while in China.

Factor Fobia is sponsored by Eco de los Andes bottle glacier water. Marley is up in the Andean region of Tunuyán where it is processed and bottled. The show is also sponsered by Aventura Sur, a very interesting adventure travel magazine you definitely want to visit. Extraordinary photos and great reading practice.

When something is distasteful, it’s common to hear qué asco (how disgusting) This is precisely what Marley proclaims as Sebastián chooses a particularly fea cockroach to munch on. Sebastián didn’t in fact, tragar, or swallow, the roach, and we think Marley let him off easy!

Lola and Ana are two friends who share an apartment in Spain. Much to Lola's surprise, one day, Ana brings her a letter with news of an unexpected suitor from abroad.

"Sam from America" is scheduled to arrive to visit Lola much sooner than anticipated and, while the girls are super excited, their neighbor, Pablo, may not share their enthusiasm.

While Lola and Ana do their best to communicate with their somewhat strange new roommate, it seems Sam's poor Spanish could lead to some misunderstandings.

Ana and Lola are in agreement that while "Sam from America" seems nice enough, he is definitely not the heartthrob they had envisioned.

Pablo tricks Sam into saying and doing things to annoy the girls, until they finally make a drastic decision.

Upon discovering an incredibly juicy secret about Sam, Pablo advises him to keep it from the girls.

Lola, Ana and Pablo are excited to take Sam to celebrate Carnival, when their landlord pays them a surprise visit to ensure that her rules are being followed.

As Sam continues to increase his Spanish vocabulary, Lola and Ana seem increasingly intrigued by their foreign friend.

Pablo and the girls compete to take Sam shopping in an attempt to get him to reconsider his eccentric style.

As Pablo tries to teach a confused Sam the names of the articles of clothing in Spanish, the girls fight over which parts of his body each will be in charge of dressing.

Sam calls his mother to tell her how excited he is about the prospect of his new friends dressing him in hip Spanish style. Later, while brushing up on his shopping terminology, he receives an unexpected call.
