This 15 minute episode focuses on understanding Latin American culture by exploring how it developed through history and how it  evolved to what we see today. We explain what defines Latin America and discuss key historical events like European colonization and mass immigration, the Treaty of Tordesillas, and independence movements that shaped the region. The episode also explains how Indigenous, European, and African influences blended together to form cultural traditions in music, food, and identity. In this episode we connect these historical foundations to modern day cultural diversity, showing how migration and globalization continue to shape Latin America and its influence across the Americas.
