Univision, the largest Spanish-language network in the United States, is famous for airing Don Francisco's long-running variety show Sábado Gigante and an abundance of telenovelas (Latin soap operas), but Univision also has its share of weekend children's programs -- and anyone in the U.S. who includes Latino programming in his/her channel surfing on a Saturday morning is likely to have stumbled across los Solecitos, a children-oriented act that has been around since 2003. In Spanish, their name means "the Little Suns," and the characters' costumes are modeled after the sun ( sol is the Spanish word for sun) but with arms, legs and faces; it's a cute gimmick that has made los Solecitos' CDs and videos a major hit in the Spanish-language children's market. Los Solecitos' fifth album, Sigamos Bailando ("Let's Keep Dancing"), is extremely bubble gum, which is to be expected because a Fonovisa press release described the disc's target audience as "los pequeños de uno a siete años de edad" ("children between the ages of one and seven"). The music is Latin pop, but with a variety of influences ranging from Mexican norteño to Dominican bachata to reggaetón -- and one of the tracks is a G-rated adaptation of the Ana Bárbara smash "Bandido" (instead of focusing on romantic love, los Solecitos' version is about trying to catch a mosquito). Sigamos Bailando is primarily aimed at Hispanic children, but los Solecitos recordings can also serve as a learning tool for non-Hispanic children who are trying to learn Spanish as a second language. Non-Hispanic parents who give their kids Spanish lessons from an early age are doing them an enormous favor -- "fluent Spanish" will look very good on their résumés fifteen and twenty years down the line -- and los Solecitos can be part of the learning process for both Hispanic and non-Hispanic niños . ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi
