The most talented artisans hide in Latin American countries, who often do not receive the honor they deserve. And is that thanks to a new wave of designers and trends that favor these items, today crafts have become unique and special objects that everyone wants to have. That is why we love to highlight and show the people behind this beautiful work.

In a new edition of the Specials with Kika, the beauty expert went to Apulo city, in the municipality of Cundinamarca, Colombia, from where today she brings us a very special story.

"Today I want to tell you about a noble profession, a noble tradition of many years," says Rocha. "I want to talk about basketry and introduce you to a character with a whole story and a whole message, especially awareness of the environment."

In this special you will meet Mr. Buenaventura Abadiano Zambrano, a 90-year-old artisan who has spent 72 years making baskets made of cane. Through this art awareness is also created about the use of materials that affect the environment.

Do not miss the video at the beginning of the video so you can meet this interesting character and see how the baskets or baskets that you have probably had at home at some time are made.
