123 Andrés are Andrés and Christina, the Latin Grammy-winning duo with catchy songs and a high-energy show in Spanish and English that gets kids and families singing and dancing.

Their songs and videos are used in early childhood and elementary classrooms across the United States and abroad, and they have delighted live audiences in the United States, Puerto Rico, Panama, Mexico, and Colombia, at venues including Lollapalooza (Chicago), Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), Symphony Space (NYC), and the Coliseo in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Andrés grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and learned how to play the guitar from his father as a child. He studied clarinet at the Conservatory and had his first studio experience at age eight. He went on to earn a doctorate in music and won first prize in the National Composition Contest in Colombia for one of his early songs.

Christina was raised in the United States in a Spanish-speaking family hailing from Colombia, and studied theater and dance as a child. After serving as a classroom teacher in public schools and earning a Master’s in Education from the University of Pennsylvania, she found her mission teaching through music.

123 Andrés maintains an active calendar of live concerts and joy-filled shows for student and family audiences that get everyone singing, moving, and learning. Their first children’s book, due out August 2020, is being published by Scholastic. They also have four acclaimed CDs under their belts.
