El mercado Latino!!!
These last few months we have gone to many Latin events and so we decided to do a post dedicated to our culture: the Latin culture!
If there is something we really like about being in the USA, it is how well the Latin culture/market is received here. As many of you already know, we are Brazilians and our native language is Portuguese. Even though the majority of Latin people speak Spanish, we are very proud to make part of this huge family. We love everything about it: the food, the music, the language, etc.  We are now learning to speak Spanish and doing quite well with it since it's very similar to Portuguese. :-)

About a month ago we went to the Alma Awards, which is a Latin event that gives out awards for all the best artists and athletes from all different genres in the entertainment business (television, movies, and music) and sports. Even though we already love the USA, we really felt at home at the Alma Awards. :-) It was a beautiful ceremony. We were happy to walk the red carpet with a lot of great Latin icons: Shakira, Eva Longoria, Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, George Lopez, Nelly Furtado, Christina Aguilera, David Archuleta… who represents our culture so well.
Take a look at the links bellow:

Weeks later we also had a great time at the MTV Latin Awards which happened last Thursday October 15th. It was a night of fun. Then we headed to the after party. We briefly passed through the Chateau Marmont party and then went to the party at Shin Korean Barbecue where we had a lot of fun as well.

So, tell us what is your favorite thing about Latin culture?
