Press & Presenter Feedback

“A rockstar for little language learners” – Billboard

“…will delight kids – and their parents, too… 123 Andrés are on the rise — ever since they won a Latin Grammy in 2016 for their album ‘Arriba Abajo,’ they’re increasingly booked all over the country.” – Washington Post

“It was wonderful hosting 123 Andrés at Carolina Theatre of Durham. Thank you for being so amazing on stage and off. We really appreciated your willingness to add an additional show and your communication was excellent, every step of the way. Our audiences loved how you made yourselves accessible, interacting with students and families during and after the performances. You seamlessly created a very special music and language learning environment - sharing, and encouraging fun, diversity, inclusiveness, and so much joy! We look forward to you returning soon! - Shana Adams, The Carolina Theater in Durham, NC.

"The families loved it! Two thirds [of the audience] was new to Flushing Town Hall. It’s great to have new audiences have such a positive experience at FTH”. – Gabrielle M. Hamilton, Director of Education and Public Programs, Flushing Town Hall

“123 Andrés represents the ideal of what we want to achieve with every performance... artistry of the highest quality and educational value.” -- Roberta Ciuffo West, Executive VP for Education and Outreach, Tennessee Performing Arts Center

“shows are noted for being high energy and 123 Andrés wouldn’t have it any other way. With his trademark fedora planted firmly on his head, Salguero starts his shows with high energy and doesn’t let it down for the whole show.” – Washington Parent
 

"The assemblies were perfect!  During the assembly, our students who speak Spanish were extremely excited to see bilingual performers.  All of the students were excited about the mention of music, dance, and language from their cultures or from their friends’ cultures.  The staff were very appreciative about the focus on different cultures and global learning. All of them said to bring them back next year!" - Christina, Parent, school counselor, Pine Crest Elementary (4th-6th grade)

“123 Andrés imparts the joy of language, music, and movement in a bilingual collection of songs that is storytime and classroom-friendly.” – American Library Association, Children’s Division
