NUESTRO CUENTO

Cuentero means storyteller in Spanish. But if you were living in Colombia in the 1990s you might know of another use for this word. Say it was a Sunday and you spend your afternoon on the Plaza de Usaquén. You end up walking around with family and friends after a delicious meal and a fruitful visit to the flea market. Suddenly, in the middle of the town square, you'd end up listening to someone starting to project their voice and – in an act of magic – they would start telling an entertaining story. This is a cuentero, weaving tales in the tradition of the oral storytelling that links us since ancient times, as cave paintings and sitting around a fire do too. And thus, Cuentero Productions was born, to continue in the same spirit of connecting around a well-woven story!
