Tamales have been around for centuries. It is a truly a pan-American dish passed on for generations across Latin America—and more recently in the United States, where Latino immigrants, and other tamal lovers, establish new traditions.
In 2015, we started a new tradition. HOLA CULTURA had the idea of bringing residents of Washington DC together for a new twist on a tamaliza, or tamal party. Our 2015 and 2016 TamalFests featured tamales from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and many other Latin American countries, supporting local culinary impresarios and performers.
