Andrés and Christina, better known as 123 Andrés, are the new face of Latinx music for families in the US and Latin America. They are known for bringing joyful sounds, passion for bilingualism and a high-energy love of music that gets kids singing and dancing in Spanish and English.

Andrés grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and learned how to play the guitar from his father at an early age. He had his first studio experience at age 8, and from there he went on to earn a Doctorate in music and won the National Composition Contest in Colombia for one of his early songs.

Christina grew up in the Midwest in a Spanish-speaking immigrant family from Colombia. Her love for the stage started when her mom signed her up for theater and dance as a child. After college she worked in the classroom as a public school teacher, and received a Masters in Education. When she joined 123 Andrés, she found her calling teaching through music.

Their most recent album, Canta las letras, helps children learn about letters in Spanish, and the sounds they make, with an upbeat songs that span genres from salsa to huayno. La luna is a collection of lullabies in Spanish, and was acclaimed by Billboard: “good-night music to put in steady rotation.”

Before that, their dual-language album Arriba Abajo won the Latin Grammy for Best Children’s Album in 2016, the Parent’s Choice Gold Award, and was named a Notable Children’s Recording by the American Library Association. Their Latin-Grammy nominated debut album, ¡Uno, Dos, Tres Andrés en español y en inglés!, was hailed by the Boston Globe: “…Joyous new album… hopscotches around the Spanish-speaking world, seamlessly switching from bachata and bolero to mariachi and vallenato.”
