Event Details
Storyteller David Gonzales, accompanied by live piano, paints a vivid picture of the people and cultures of the Spanish speaking world with colorful tales from all over the globe! From the silly antics of the Puerto Rican anti-hero “Juan Bobo” to the mysterious dealings and powers of the Orishas in a suite of Afro-Cuban stories, these tales are filled with fun characters, plots, and positive messages. Spanish language words are sprinkled throughout the stories and songs in such a way that young audiences can repeat and retain their sound and meaning.
