Spent yesterday furiously updating my website and listening to pharoah sanders for 10 hours, culminating in two offset plays of the 1968 Antibes concert. Either a Fibonacci sequence or an exorcism, I couldn’t decide

TikTok was so clear what local languages they liked best: Texas German (a dying dialect) and regional Spanish swear words. My most popular videos by far. I hope everyone there finds my newsletter. I’m really gonna miss their great taste.

Kinda crazy that this may be the last video I post on TikTok. So much creativity sniffed out just when we need it most.

I visited Nigeria for the wine Amabile di Rosa. (there is a wine brand named after me in Africa! Read the story: mododibere.com)

I studied a little Yoruba before my visit. Abel helped show me around Lagos. When I asked Abel to share a proverb with Modo di Bere, this is the one he chose!

Sevilla featuring Eva + partner Peter. Look for Eva’s radiant smile on our TikTok, IG and YouTube shorts grids @mododibere for more local slang from Costa Rica!

Abaceria la Caraba, a perfect Andalusian bar with songbirds in little cages hanging from the sidewalk trees. This is Triana, a neighborhood I love. If you visit this bar and order the caracoles, let me know! 🐌
