Is it for toddlers or older kids?

The songs and the dancing are pitched at preschool and early primary kids. Under-2s usually enjoy the music from a parent's arms; kids past 9 or so may find it young.

Will my kid understand it if they don't speak Spanish?

Mostly yes. It is a concert, not a play, so there is no story to follow. Kids pick up the rhythm and the dance moves from the band and the other children.

Can we hear the band before we go?

Yes. Isla Mandarina posts its songs on its website and YouTube channel, so you can play a few at home first.

About

Isla Mandarina is a five-piece Madrid band that writes upbeat songs for kids and the grown-ups with them. Shows are built for dancing: the musicians play to the room, get children up out of their seats and keep the energy high from the first song. It suits preschool and early primary kids who like to move. Older kids may find it young.
