Every Thursday, from 8 to 10:00 in the evening, Encuentro takes you on a journey across Latin America with its folk and traditional music. Encuentro also explores, in a casual but informative setting, other language-related traditions (from literature to proverbial expressions), as well as other forms of artistic expression of the Latin American peoples.

**********************************************************************************************

Cada jueves, Encuentro te trae el folklore musical latinoamericano, su prodigiosa diversidad, su extraordinaria riqueza. Escucha las voces, géneros y sonidos que expresan nuestra manera de ver, sentir, cantar y bailar la vida. Maravíllate con la portentosa creatividad, el refulgente talento, la asombrosa sensibilidad de nuestros creadores populares. Conmuévete con el acento ancestral, el profundo sentimiento, la diáfana belleza de la música tradicional de nuestra patria grande.

Además de la música, la palabra también está presente y canta en Encuentro: la última media hora de cada programa presenta poesía, cuento, novela, ensayo, crónica, refranes, etimologías. . . el universo mágico e inagotable del idioma español.

Host: Gilberto Vázquez Valle
