Our Story – Mundo Latino
Our Story

Inspired by our innumerable and close encounters with the Latin American culture and people over past near 2 decades we decided to share the soul and spirit of one of the most colorful regions of the world in a pioneering format - bringing together the nuances of Spanish language - the fastest growing foreign language, and the energy and fun quotient of Salsa - the most popular and social dance form on the planet, from their original Latin roots....creating a latin world in India!

Creating a Latin World in India

We were born on 28th Oct 2008 in New Delhi, with the primary goal of “Creating a Latin World in India” So why did we have to be pretty much the first such private institution, anywhere in this part of the world, attempting this goal? For starters we had fallen in love with Spanish as a language, and wanted to share with the people here in India that in Cuba they don’t speak ‘Cuban’, in Mexico not ‘Mexican’, in Colombia not ‘Colombian’ and in Argentina not ‘Argentine’ – in fact almost 90% of native speakers of Spanish come from Latin America. Having traveled to and experienced the beautiful Latin America and Spain on several occasions we wanted to share the joy of life and energy from another world, separated by thousands of miles from India geographically and yet so much like us! And when we mixed this with the quintessential soul of Latin world, one of the most popular dance forms on the planet – Salsa, we had the perfect recipe brewing for welcoming people to Mundo Latino to experience the incredible Hispanic culture, with breathtaking vignettes from Latin American countries in unison with Spain.
