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.

Todos los jueves, de 8 a 10 de la noche, Encuentro recorre la geografía musical de nuestra América Latina. El programa se enfoca en los géneros folclóricos y tradicionales y presenta, además, canciones e interpretes que se han convertido en clásicos del cancionero latinoamericano. Encuentro explora también, de una manera entretenida e informativa a la vez, diversas tradiciones relacionadas a nuestro idioma (desde literatura hasta refranes populares), así como otras formas de expresión artística de los pueblos latinoamericanos.
