Conchita Espinosa (February 23, 1914 – September 19, 2006) was a world-renowned pianist who combined academics and the arts to create an educational style that exists today at Conchita Espinosa Academy in Miami, Florida.
Her motto: “To reach a child's soul one must know him, guide him and especially, love him.”
At the age of 14, Espinosa graduated from the “Conservatorio Internacional de Música” in Havana as a professor of piano and music theory. She continued her music education with renowned professors and artists Joaquín Nin, Ernesto Berumen and Jasha Fishermann. Espinosa performed concerts in Mexico, Cuba and the U.S.
In 1933, at the age of 19, she founded “La Academia Musical Conchita Espinosa” in Havana. By 1959, at the end of Batista's pro-Western rule, the Academy – which included an elementary school and music and dance programs - had 450 students. Three decades later, after leaving Fidel Castro's Cuba and arriving in Miami, Espinosa continued her life´s work as a teacher of music.
In 1963, she opened Conchita Espinosa Academy in Miami, in the garage of a small home in the neighborhood that would later become Little Havana. The Academy grew in enrollment, until, in 1984, it moved to a 10-acre parcel. The school now serves students in grades pre-kindergarten to eighth grade.
During her extensive career, Espinosa received many honors including the Richard and Dorothy Lear Memorial “Distinguished Educator Award” (March 1994) and the “Legacy of Excellence Award” presented by General Motors during the 1999 Hispanic Heritage Festival. Additionally, she received “Conchita Espinosa Day” proclamations from both the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County. In 2001, S.W. 6th street – which fronts Conchita Espinosa Academy – was named “Conchita Espinosa Way.” The last honor presented to Espinosa was the prestigious Medalla de Excelencia Nacional Cubana from the Instituto de San Carlos de Cayo Hueso in May 2006.

Kunami (koo-nah-mee) is the name of a fictional fruit presented in the Portuguese show Gato Fedorento.
Usage
This fruit is only presented in a sketch from season 2 (the Season "Meireles"), named "Fresh Kunami". This sketch became very popular in YouTube and among Gato Fedorento fans. That sketch was later presented in Gato Fedorento's live acting in Coliseu. Gato Fedorento, who made its first 3 seasons for SIC, started working for RTP, and they done commercials for Gato Fedorento's coming to RTP with old Gato Fedorento sketches - the Kunami sketch was used, where they presented the actors in the sketch talking about moving to RTP.
The kunami sketch is also mentioned in one of the commercials that Gato Fedorento made for PT Comunicações. In this commercial the four authors of the show are seen in a set with cameras, talking to the commercial director, presenting some ideas they had based on earlier sketches (like "The Hillbillies' Rap", "The Man Who Seems To Had Happened Something to" and "General, Political Expert and Guy from Alfama"), where it was said "We got fresh costumer's help number!" (mirroring the catchline of the Kunami sketch, "we got fresh kunami!")
Kunami is said by the greengrocer who sells it that it's a very rare and delicious tropical fruit- it's actually old rotten fruit. In the original sketch it's plums, in the live acting it's grapes, and in the RTP commercial it's tangerines.
The sketch features a greengrocer (played by Ricardo Araújo Pereira) that supposedly sells very rare tropical fruits, like Kunami, who are in fact dirty fruit (it was mencioned that the producers of the show caught them in the nearest trash cans). The fruits were Farfalhi (old lettuce), Kunami (rottem plum), Funini (rotten pears), Katuki (rotten tangerines) and Maracaté (rotten peaches) - words not used in Portuguese language. He then debates against a man (played by Miguel Góis) who was sent by his wife to complain about the kunami she bought.
Etymology
As Ricardo Araújo Pereira, one of the Gato fedorento authors, had claimed in an interview for RTP, their inspiration comes from things like watching TV, reading the paper and playing videogames, as Kunami is actually named after Konami.
In the sketch, the greengrocer says that Kunami is named like that because it tastes like Kunami ("It tastes like Kunami, therefore the name, Kunami.")
"Kunami", or any of the other words that designed supposedly exotic fruit, do not exist in the Portuguese dictionary.
