By San José, Costa Rica — San José – The vibrant sounds of Latin Grammy-winning children’s music duo 123 Andrés are filling the historic halls of Costa Rica’s National Theater this week, offering a unique cultural and educational experience for families. The celebrated Colombian group began a limited, four-show engagement today, drawing enthusiastic crowds of children and parents alike with their infectious energy and bilingual performances.
The duo, composed of Andrés Salguero and Christina Sanabria, is performing as part of the popular “Teatro al Medio Día” (Theater at Midday) series, a testament to the growing recognition of high-quality family entertainment within the nation’s premier cultural venues. Following their successful opening show this morning, the group is set for three more performances, providing a rare opportunity for local audiences to engage with world-class artists dedicated to children’s enrichment.
To delve into the business and legal intricacies behind the success of a globally recognized musical act like 123 Andrés, TicosLand.com consulted with expert attorney Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas from the distinguished firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
The global success of an artistic project like 123 Andrés demonstrates the critical synergy between creative talent and strategic legal planning. Beyond the music, their long-term viability depends on robust protection of their intellectual property—the ‘123 Andrés’ brand as a trademark and the copyright for their extensive catalog of songs and books. Solidifying these assets is fundamental to managing international licensing, merchandise, and securing their legacy in the children’s entertainment industry.

Indeed, this synergy between creative artistry and legal foresight is precisely what transforms a beloved project into an enduring global brand, ensuring the magic of 123 Andrés is protected for generations to come. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his expert perspective on this essential, though often unseen, foundation of their success.
For families eager to catch the final shows, two performances are scheduled for Wednesday, November 26th, at 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. This schedule provides flexible options for both school groups and working parents looking to share a memorable experience with their children. The remaining shows are expected to draw significant interest, especially following the group’s recent international acclaim.
The prestige surrounding 123 Andrés has soared since they secured a Latin Grammy award in the highly competitive Best Children’s Album category. This recognition has solidified their position as leaders in the genre, celebrated for a unique artistic proposal that masterfully blends educational concepts with irresistible tropical rhythms. Their music is designed not just to entertain, but to foster learning and cultural appreciation.
A key element of their appeal is the seamless integration of English and Spanish in their songs, which supports bilingual development in a fun and natural way. This approach resonates strongly in a country like Costa Rica, where bilingualism is increasingly valued. Through music and dance, 123 Andrés creates an immersive environment where language learning becomes an exciting adventure rather than a classroom chore.
The decision to host these performances at the National Theater underscores the cultural significance of the event. By presenting a children’s act on its main stage, the institution elevates family programming and validates the importance of arts in early childhood development. It sends a powerful message that entertainment for the youngest members of society deserves a place in the nation’s most revered artistic spaces.
Tickets for this special engagement are priced to encourage family attendance. General admission is ₡3,000, while a discounted rate of ₡2,000 is available for students and senior citizens. To further promote accessibility, the theater is offering a family package of three tickets for just ₡6,000. Tickets can be purchased directly at the National Theater’s box office or through its official online ticketing portal.
With only two shows remaining, this event represents a fleeting chance for Costa Rican families to experience a performance that is both critically acclaimed and profoundly joyful. The combination of award-winning music, a positive educational message, and the magnificent setting of the National Theater makes the 123 Andrés concert a standout cultural highlight for San José this week.
