About

Donde Esta La Biblioteca is a YouTube fad revolving around a Spanish rap from the NBC sitcom series Community. The phrase "donde esta la biblioteca" is a basic Spanish phrase that translates to "where is the library?" in English. It is often one of the first phrases taught in beginner's Spanish class.

Origin



Description: Abed and Troy meets …Señor Chang in Spanish 101


Season 1, episode 2 of the show Community aired in September of 2009, and was titled "Spanish 101". During the closing credis, Abed (Danny Pudi) and Troy (Donald Glover) perform a freestyle rap using rhyming Spanish words that do not form coherent sentences.
