Hoy conversamos con Luis Eduardo Villamizar, quien está en proceso de crear un documental mostrando el viaje hacia la búsqueda de sí mismo, de su herencia cultural y de Colombia. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Muchos colombianos dejaron el país durante los 70s y 80s buscando alejarse de los problemas de esas épocas pero, como […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Well, I don’t know if you’re aware or not, but there’s a little thing called the Barranquilla Carnival starting this weekend. If you don’t know, now you know, blogger.
