New Series ‘Cultura Shock’ Premieres on LATV

A new series from LATV Network, Cultura Shock, makes its debut on May 3rd 6:30PM PT / 9:30PM ET. You can check your local listings on our “where to watch” page.

So what is Cultura Shock exactly? It is a half-hour variety show that showcases the diverse experiences often overlooked or unbeknownst before in our communities. Follow LATV’s Anakaren Lopez as she explores the cultural niches of the Latinx experience as told by Latinx people themselves.

Cultura Shock focuses on aspects of culture not seen anywhere else; taking on subjects such as food, street wisdom, stereotypes, intersectionalities, traditions, and passions. This show breaks down an individual’s relationship with mainstream culture through personal accounts, interviews, and monologues.

Cultura Shock brings you an electrifying and refreshing perspective as to what cultura looks like in modern-day America.

Each episode is comprised of a fun series of vignettes in which viewers can discover cultura.

Cultura Shock

The show’s namesake segment will feature host Anakaren sitting down with a special guest to talk about heritage, identity, and share their own Cultura Shock moments. Expect these lively and earnest conversations to surprise viewers as well as the show’s mascot – “Patches the llama.”

In My Feelings

Has life got you feeling some type of way? In My Feelings is the time to let it all out! Here, guests share their thoughts, grievances, and any personal stories that may be on their mind. It’s time to reflect and find your inner peace. ohmmm

Pata Caliente

You can’t learn everything about culture by staying indoors. You have to get out there in the world and experience it for yourself! We ditch the studio to get the word on the street, straight from la gente.

Ponte Las Pilas

How well you know your cultura? We put our guests’ knowledge to the test with this series of quizzes and challenges. Can Americans pass a citizenship test? Can contestants identity Mexico’s most popular hot sauces while blindfolded? Stay on top of your game and keep those batteries charged with Ponte Las Pilas.

Sazonation

Foodies, this one’s for you. Latinos are known to love their sazón, and the culinary experts in this segment are pushing the limits of our tastebuds by adding that little “-ation” for extra kick. After all, what better way is there to experience someone’s culture than to try their food?

WYKA?

What you know about the origins of horchata, pachucos, and even color tv? WYKA is a deep dive into the all-too-often undermentioned Latin history and contributions of Latinx people in popular culture. Ya tú sabes, ese.

Be sure to check out LATV’s new series Blacktinidad, where host Melany Centeno gives an unapologetic look at the Black Experience through the lens of AfroLatinx people. Also, new seasons of The Zoo and Get It Girl are now showing on LATV.com, along with Season 6 of The Q Agenda premiering this June.
