Café, con aroma de mujer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Café, con aroma de mujer ("Coffee with a woman's scent") was probably one of the most popular TV shows in Colombian television. It marked a difference in Latin American soap opera and the way they were created. The story involved both typical and modern parts of Colombia, taking place in the heart of Colombian coffee plantations and in an important coffee export company. In a short time, "Café" became popular among an audience of all ages and genders, to the point that anecodotes are popularly told about how the whole country would "come to a standstill" when the show came on the air. The main actress, Margarita Rosa de Francisco already popular for her former roles in "Gallito Ramirez" and "Escalona", gave life to "Gaviota", one of the most popular characters in Colombian Television and Margarita's most important work. The story concerns a woman who works as a harvester on a plantation, who falls in love with the son of the plantation owner. The show is especially famed for showing a panoramic and authentic view of the culture of Antioquia, the traditional heartland of Colombia's coffee-growing highlands.
