Chemistry against Crop Failure - Bayer in Colombia | Made in Germany
The Colombian economy continues to grow, but the agricultural sector is still suffering the effects of a decades-long guerrilla conflict. Now Colombian agriculture is trying to catch up and become competitive in the international arena. For that, they'll need new technology, increased efficiency, and new skills. German chemicals company Bayer is looking to benefit from the catch-up effort. More informations: http://www.dw.de/program/made-in-germany/s-3066-9798- published: 22 Jan 2014

PICÓ: La máquina musical del caribe [demo]
[ http://pico.com.co ] > [ https://soundcloud.com/pico-documental ] > [ https://twitter.com/picodocumental ] > [ facebook.com/picodocumental ]
At the end of the 60’s the afro population of the Colombian Atlantic Coast developed an alternative to enjoy, and in turn, locally spread their preferred music; they built hand-made sound systems capable of triggering a huge party. These sound systems are known in the Colombian Caribbean as Picós. These Colombian sound systems were known, among other things, for having their own name (El Timbalero, El Coreano, El Isleño) as well as for their over-the-top appearance, and for having audio components that magnified their sound power to the maximum.
The so-called Picós, as mobile stations, began in the 60’s to create the basis of an urban, popular and contemporary culture that expresses itself through these powerful sound machines. The sound systems became the center of social and economic networks of craftsmen DJs, owners, music sellers, producers and purchasers, which together, on a small scale, make up an informal economy generated specifically to build, transport and operate these "mobile cultural spaces" which were popularly baptized as Picós.
The PICÓ documentary aims to tell the story of the Maury family in Barranquilla, Colombia, who for 40 years have lived in a house in the La Magdalena neighborhood, which in turn they transformed into a place where people gather, known as "La isla del encanto (the Island of enchantment)."
Technical Information
Documentary Series: 4 Episodes
Duration: 24 min. Format: HD
Original Titlle: PICÓ La máquina musical del Caribe.
La población negra de la Costa Atlántica Colombiana desarrolló desde finales de los 60´s una alternativa para disfrutar y de paso difundir a nivel local la música de su preferencia; construyeron de manera artesanal sistemas de sonido capaces de desencadenar una fiesta descomunal, estos sistemas de sonido se conocieron en el caribe Colombiano como Picós, estos Sound System Colombianos se caracterizaron, entre otras cosas, por tener un nombre propio ( El Timbalero, El Coreano, El Isleño) también por un aspecto visual exuberante y además por tener componentes de sonido que magnifican al máximo su potencia sonora.
Los llamados Picós, a manera de emisoras móviles, comienzan desde los años 60’s a conformar las bases de una cultura urbana, popular y contemporánea que se expresa a través de estas potentes máquinas de sonido. Estos sistemas de sonido se convirtieron en el centro de redes sociales y económicas de artesanos, dj’s, propietarios, vendedores de música, productores, compradores que juntos, en pequeña escala, componen una economía informal generada específicamente para construir, transportar y operar estos “espacios culturales móviles” que fueron bautizados popularmente como Picós. El documental apunta a narrar la historia de la familia Maury en Barranquilla, Colombia, quienes desde hace 40 años conviven en una casa del barrio La Magdalena que a la vez convirtieron en un estadero conocido como ¨La isla del encanto¨. Esta famila enlaza 3 generaciones de la tradición picótera, la familia está liderada por el veterano picotero Ricardo Maury, propietario de un “escaparate” o picó antiguo llamado “El Gran Guerrero”; un hombre que ha dejado de lado su picó y que ha cedido a la presión de las nuevas tecnologias para darle paso a su hijo Rafael Maury quien con su moderno y potente picó continúa la tradición de los maury. Otro eslabón de esta cadena generacional que empieza a abrirse su propio camino es Alexander Maury, el nieto, que sobresale como uno de los DJ o picotero mas joven en el competido mundo de la escena picotera Barranquillera. Este documental va a mostrar la particular historia de una familia Colombiana y a la vez va a contar una parte poco conocida de la historia de la música Colombiana, en la que gracias a estas máquinas musicales se desarrolló un gran movimiento musical que se extendió a nivel nacional e internacional que se conoce como “Champeta”.

e² design season two - Bogotá: Building a Sustainable City
During his tenure as mayor of Bogotá, Colombia, Enrique Peñalosa was both revered and scorned for his urban planning and transportation policies. His public works projects, which largely favored the pedestrian experience, were unlike anything previously built in Bogotá. Peñalosa describes the environmental and social importance of minimizing automobile culture.

lado b de la historia / vol.5 ay mi tierra!
Volume 5. OH, MY LAND! (Ay mi tierra!)
¿What is a territory for us? How do we define it? What is our relationship to it? In the music of the Llanos or Eastern Prairies, songs which spring from a cattle-rearing economy describe the close relationship between man and his land. With the help of the Grupo Cimarrón and its lead singer Ana Veydó, we tell stories about lands and settlers. In the jungles and prairies of Colombia, the heritage over the fight for land which began 500 years ago is still alive and important. One of the harshest paradoxes of Colombia is that the regions richest in natural resources are the places with the strongest social conflicts and the greatest poverty.

Colombian Coffee, Cafe de Colombia
There's more to Colombia than cocaine and violence. Scattered across a lush Andean landscape, Colombia's small coffee farmers are the biggest producers of Arabica coffee worldwide. Behind this successful export economy is a culture deeply rooted in rich traditions, yet perfectly at home in the 21 st century.
In a country where partying has practically been elevated to an art form, it's no surprise that coffee-growers have their own national celebration.
Enjoy scenes from the week-long Coffee Festival that includes parades, traditional dances, and a pageant that culminates with the crowning of the International Coffee Queen. You'll see the high-tech side of the coffee business, as scientists in the laboratories of the Colombian Coffee Federation develop more flavorful and disease-resistant beans.
Enjoy the breath-taking beauty of the coffee lands as you follow the steps of the production cycle. Find out why growing organic coffee involves birds as well as people. Listen to small-scale land-owners, tenant farmers, and itinerant pickers describe how the culture of coffee has shaped their lives. And find out why Starbucks ain't got nothin' on Juan Valdez. You're bound to gain a whole new appreciation for your next cup of coffee!
