Roa

La historia sucede en Bogotá en los días previos al 9 de abril de 1948. Roa es el clásico agüerista que lo deja todo a la suerte, un pobre diablo sin oficio estable pero con una familia que alimentar. Cansado de buscar trabajo y convencido que ha nacido para cosas grandes, visita a su ídolo Eliecer Gaitán para pedirle trabajo.

Roa

The story takes place in Bogotá in the days leading up to April 9th, 1948, a day in history known as ¨El Bogotazo.¨  Roa is an example of a classical superstitious man that leaves everything to chance, a poor man without a stable job but with a family to feed. Tired of looking for work and convinced that he was born for big things, he visits his idol Eliecer Gaitan to ask for work.

Moles de Oaxaca con la Chef Adriana Avendaño @ Online Event
Jun 25 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Oaxaca es uno de los estados más grandes de la República Mexicana, y es el que tiene un mayor número de municipios; para ser exactos, 570 divididos en ocho regiones: cañada, costa, istmo, mixteca, cuenca del Papaloapan, sierra sur, sierra norte y los valles centrales.

Parece que el siete es un número místico para este estado, pues cuenta también con siete moles tradicionales.

Haremos un breve recorrido gastronómico por esta maravillosa región y nuestra invitada preparara Mole Amarillo uno de los famosos 7 moles tradicionales de Oaxaca
