Little Paco says “si!” More than 100 kids voted for the music on this CD, which features music from across the Spanish-speaking world. Sambas, tangos, salsas, sons – all the good, fun bits that Latin music has to offer. Infectious beats, great horns/percussion/vocals, and an impossible-to-resist get-off-your-butt-and-dance energy. All so good!
