A music genre and dance originating from the Colombian coast that conquered all of Latin America with its infectious rhythm. Every country has their own version: cumbia villera in Argentina, cumbia sonidera in Mexico.

The Spanish equivalent of bon appétit, said before or while someone is eating. In Mexico and much of Latin America, saying provecho is almost mandatory social etiquette, even to complete strangers eating at the next table in a restaurant. Not saying it when you walk past someone eating feels borderline rude.

Relaxed, calm, stress-free, and worry-free in total zen mode. An anglicism adopted by all of Latin Gen Z that describes that ideal state where nothing bothers you and everything flows naturally.

A kite in Mexico. It comes from the Nahuatl word 'papalotl' meaning butterfly, because it flies through the sky with the same grace and freedom as a butterfly on a perfect windy day.
