At their vibrant showcase at Savage Labs Wynwood on July 26, Chiki Toonz and PJ Kids (Periko & Jessi León) delivered a powerful, family-friendly experience that celebrated Latin American culture through music, dance, and storytelling. The event marked a live preview of Raíces, Chiki Toonz’s 15th studio album, which reimagines classic folkloric songs for a new generation. The performance highlighted their mission to connect children to their heritage while educating through entertainment. Chiki Toonz, with over 6.7 million YouTube subscribers, 5 billion views, and a reputation for turning learning into fun, brought their full cast of colorful characters—Chiki Pink, Purple, Yellow, Blue, and Orange—to the stage, captivating kids and adults alike.

Joining them were Periko & Jessi León, the Latin GRAMMY-nominated duo behind PJ Kids. Known for their heartfelt songwriting and smooth fusion of Latin pop and acoustic melodies, Periko & Jessi have carved a respected space in the Latin music world, working with stars like Reik, Luis Fonsi, and Fonseca. Through PJ Kids, they bring that same songwriting excellence to children’s music, crafting songs that are joyful, educational, and emotionally resonant. Their performance added vocal power, authenticity, and warmth to the evening, elevating the experience into something both musically rich and culturally meaningful. Together, these two powerhouse acts showcased how children’s music can bridge generations and honor tradition while keeping things colorful, energetic, and deeply relevant.
