Sonia De Los Santos has a story to tell. Or, better put, she has a story to sing.
The Monterrey, Mexico, native moved to New York City shortly after earning her college degree in communications. She discovered her calling writing and performing songs for children when she started touring with Grammy-winning kid-music troubadour Dan Zanes in 2007.
“We spent roughly 10 years touring around the world,” De Los Santos recalled.
“I fell in love with playing for family audiences. And I quickly realized there was a need for Spanish-language songs, both new and traditional. I knew that’s what I’d like to do. There was some interest in it, so I put a band together.”

Turn mealtime into a fun history lesson by pointing out the indigenous backgrounds of these common ingredients.
Avocado: Believe it or not, guac is not a wonder of the modern-day world. In 500 b.c., the Aztecs ground up
āhuacatl (that’s “avocado” in Nahuatl) into
āhuacamolli, which literally translates to “avocado sauce.”
Chia: The superfood can be traced back to the Aztecs and is still relied on today by the Tarahumara people in Chihuahua, Mexico, as a source of energy for arduous foot journeys.
