Hi all.
I don’t have much time to write a post this week but I wanted to share this little video which I managed to sneak into a few weeks back.
The show, “Nuestra Semana Nuestra Tele” is broadcast on Colombia’s national TV station “RCN”. The presenters were in Cali, filming some of the famous sites of the city and at the end of the day they visited one of Cali’s most famous salsa bars, Tin Tin Deo to get a glimpse of the city’s vibrant salsa scene.
A couple of buddies of mine were helping the crew with some of the logistics in the club and they asked me to be one of the background dancers (sounds like I should be in a Justin Timberlake video). So I said why not! The video shows some other great dancers here in Cali, namely Canelo and Dominika dancing the local salsa caleña (which you can learn a little more about here).
You can see me dancing in the back-right, with one of my favourite students, Mafe, a little after the presenters enter the club. It’s great to be able to see a video of myself dancing so I can see what I need to improve. From this video I can see that one thing I definitely need to improve is my awful haircut! I’ll get on it straight away!
Apparently, the presenters are big fans of mine (after reading this post I think) and spent the shoot talking about me while I was dancing behind them. The 100% official subtitles that I was in no way involved in translating and editing, reveal just that.
So yeah, I’m a Colombian superstar now. I will be signing autographs tonight in Tin Tin Deo and anytime you see me on the street.
Today Colombian national television, tomorrow the world!
Keep dancing folks.

Hey Richie!
You actually made me laugh so hard almost fell down my chair. Best subtitles ever!
You keep on dancing, you were doing pretty good indeed 😉
Thanks Diana, yeah if it wasn’t for those subtitles I’d never have known how much they were into me. She got very “handsy” after the shoot though 😉 haha
Great post! flawless translation in the subtitles 😉
Yeah, I think they really captured the subtleties of the script haha!
