Corn to dough and dough to tortilla. It’s simple, it’s automatic, and it’s how Alfonso and his siblings make their living. Step up to the counter to learn more.

Don Alonso tells us a bit about his tortilla business and how the automatic machines revolutionized the way to prepare tortillas.

Juan paints outlines on his tiles using a paintbrush and manganese oxide, but at one time practitioners did this by laying down fine strings dipped in wax, and this explains why Juan still calls the technique he uses cuerda seca, or “dry cord.” Note that he describes the technique as one of alto relieve, or “high relief,” which is the opposite of bas-relief (low relief).

Listen to Puerto Rican recording artist, Tito "El Bambino's" hit single, "El Amor," from his album, "El PATRÓN."

Imagine the horror of stepping on a landmine while gardening. This is what happened to farmers José Moncada and Reinaldo Herrera. Through great courage they survive to testify of the enduring evils that are minas antipersonales.

You know what a calavera is, no? If you see one, especially on a sign in a former war zone, be very, very careful. Soldiers from Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the U.S. came together to reduce the need for these signs in Central America… reclaiming fields filled with anti-personnel mines so that farmers can return to using them for crops.

The effort to de-mine Central America is truly an international one, with assistance coming from the U.S., Germany, Spain, France, England, Japan, Canada and Sweden (who’s ambassador is featured here, speaking eloquent Spanish). Also we hear from soldiers on the pleasure of serving a mission of peace, as opposed to one of war.

From their 2010 album, Modular, The Pinker Tones bring us this surreal song. So much happens to this duo while stretched out under the sun. Funny thing is: some of the crazy stuff they think of is plucked straight from real life.

In their video for the track “Invisible,” the Pinker Tones play with the idea of invisibility. They hide behind newspapers, trees, turtlenecks, boxes, balloons, and sheets right in the middle of downtown Barcelona. Don’t expect a huge vocabulary! It’s just a silly, funny way to express the desire for invisibility.

The Krayolas have been around for a long time, and their work, talent and dedication shows in “Little Fox.” We warn you: this song will be stuck in your head for several weeks.
