La Pelota De Letras - Andres Lopez

A rare, authentic DVD of Andres Lopez's groundbreaking stand up comedy tour, La Pelota de Letras (The Ball of Letters). Named after an extremely common childhood toy for those who grew up in Hispanic culture, a rubber ball imprinted with the letters of the alphabet, Lopez breaks down universal themes by generation and weaves together a tapestry that is common to most Hispanic cultures.

If you want to understand Colombian culture particularly, or Hispanic culture as a whole, watch the first half of this standup. For a non-native speaker it can be a challenge, but well worth it. Whether you grew up in a deeply Hispanic community, moved out young, or became curious as an adult, this stand up is a cultural tour de force.
