The Global Latin Factor Podcast | Carnaval de Barranquilla en Dallas, Texas 🎉🇨🇴
Description
What happens when the #2 biggest carnival in the world lands in North Texas? We went live from the Carnaval de Barranquilla in Dallas to find out.
In this bilingual (English/Spanish) episode, we hit the floor talking to vendors, performers, and community members who are keeping Colombian culture alive right here in DFW.
🍽️ Meet the vendors:
- Manarel Salsón Colombiano (Fort Worth) — 15 years serving lechona, chicharrón, empanadas, and ahorrajados at this event. A family business built with love.
- Cauca's Fritanga — 3 years bringing papas rellenas, rellena, and the flavors of Santander and Cauca straight to Dallas.
- So Freshy — Puerto Rican-inspired piña coladas with fresh ingredients and a "Vacation in a Cup" vibe hitting DFW for the first time.
💃 Featured Guest: Alexander Gutiérrez aka Alex Benz — Barranquilla's own champeta dancer and cultural ambassador, sharing what it means to see Colombian culture celebrated in Texas.
This episode is a celebration of roots, community, and what it feels like to find home thousands of miles away from Colombia.
