001 - Aguacate, Mangos, Plantains y más!

Hola mi gente, welcome to “The Aguacate Chronicles”, I’m your host Giraldo Luis Alvaré. You know I’m all about celebrating cultura and one thing at the center of it is food. Arroz - Rice, Pernil - Pork, Frijoles - Beans, Tostones - Plantains and the inspiration to the show Aguacate, Avocados. A favorite in the Alvaré household. I’m going to stop here because my stomach is growling so much it sounds like conga drums.

Seriously though, food unites us, it brings us together so I invited mi hermano Daso El Afro Caribeño, CEO of Dekora Digital, Piragua Artspace and Brand to help break this down. A big Pa’lante shoutout to all the amazing guests in Season 1. We are going to share some exclusive bonus footage of their favorite foods and beverages they loved growing up and still enjoy to this day. So relax and enjoy the Aguacate Chronicles.

Gracias to all the guests highlighted from Season 1 of Siempre Pa’lante! Always Forward in this episode- Daso El Afro Caribeño, CEO of Dekora Digital, Piragua Artspace and Brand, Aurora Flores, CEO, Aurora Communications.

Gracias to Santiago Ramones on the edit and DJ Andre Jones of Stat10 productions for helping with the intro from legendary composer and singer Ismael Rivera a.k.a Maelo, El Sonero Mayor. Clip was borrowed from the classic song “Controversia” off the album, “La Herencia”. Descanse en paz (RIP) Maestro.
