    I am not only a fluent Spanish-English reader/speaker but also a bi-cultural person who has a broad solid background. I also have a passionate interest in different expressions of music, especially many American styles and their combinations (Folk-Country, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Soul, and so on), dance, stage and screen, and some other forms of artistic expression.

    The Turrialban Tae Kwon Do athlete Ignacio Madrigal won last Saturday, July 21st, the 6th medal in the 33rd Central American and Caribbean Games Barranquilla 2018, to get bronze in the modality of individual poomsae.
