Cantinas de Cornelio
Smithsonian Channel will premiere the new series Las Cantinas de Cornelio (6×30´) throughout Latin America early this year.
This Mexicanal original production is hosted by radio and TV personality Cornelio García, an expert in Mexican traditions, who invites viewers into the most historic and popular cantinas in Mexico from bustling downtown Mexico City and the sweltering streets of Mérida to the elegant Yucatán state capital in southeastern Mexico and more. While indulging in authentic food and drinks, Garcia engages with locals and gets the rich culture and history behind these classic bars from those who are closest to them. Viewers will learn what “cantina” means in cultural terms and the contributions they have made to daily life and traditions in Mexico.
“Smithsonian Channel has made a major commitment to increasing programming created by local filmmakers that celebrate Latin American history and cultural richness,” said David Royle, EVP and Chief Programming Officer at Smithsonian Networks. This wonderful series is an entertaining way for us to provide our viewers with a look into the colorful characters and fascinating history behind this beloved tradition.”
“Cantinas are perhaps one of the most featured and recognized Mexican scenes in pop culture around the world. We wanted to take viewers on a journey to discover or revisit these establishments,” said Demian Torres-Bohl, Mexicanal’s VP and executive producer.
The series is produced by Mexicanal for Smithsonian Networks. Demian Torres-Bohl serves as executive producer for Mexicanal Productions and Joy Galane serves as executive producer for Smithsonian Channel.
