Iswegh Attay

1. We can learn from the video that the Tuareg is an African or a mid-eastern culture, because they wear desert clothes. We can also appreciate that they are a spiritual and pacific culture of people who know to enjoy the small pleasures of life.

2. By seeing the video and knowing the lyrics we can see that Tuareg people are not passing through a good moment, they feel oppressed and they want to break free. However, they are are still calm and are able to enjoy what life has for them, able to spend good moments in community, able to drink a glass of tea together.

Barranquilla - 2013 Cultural Capital

1. Barranquilla was chosen because the president of the Cultural Capital's International Bureau, Xavier Tudela, was very impressed with the city, the unity of the people regarding the culture, and the international projection of Barranquilla.

2. I think it will, beacause being elected as American 2013's Cultural Capital allows the city to promote itself internationally through the Bureau's agreement with some european TV channels.
