The Wiggles have a lineup of Spanish-language programming comprised entirely of a Hispanic cast.<\/p>\n
Los Wiggles will perform both classic Wiggles\u2019 and original music infused into a series that features adventures, dancing, storytelling and friends such as Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and all the Wiggly Dancers. All Los Wiggles programming will air exclusively on The Wiggles YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
Los Wiggles features an entirely Spanish-speaking cast. The lineup consists of Zoe Velez (Blue Wiggle), Fernando Moguel (Yellow Wiggle), Katty Villafuerte (Purple Wiggle), Francisco Madrid (Red Wiggle) and Victor Valdes (Captain Feathersword). Each member of Los Wiggles brings their unique cultural experiences: Zoe is of Uruguayan and Australian heritage, Katty is a second-generation Australian of Peruvian parents, Fernando is Mexican-American and Francisco is Venezuelan.<\/p>\n
The brand-new Los Wiggles “Play Time” episodes will be augmented by episodes of the 2006 Latin American Wiggles<\/em> series. All 26 22-minute episodes will be available for the first time ever to the rest of the world as part of Los Wiggles programming on The Wiggles YouTube channel.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a need for diversity in program content for children across the world,\u201d said Anthony Field, Blue Wiggle and founding member of The Wiggles. \u201cThis was a natural first-step extension of The Wiggles that brings our core childhood education entertainment to Spanish-speaking children and families around the world. Children need to see and hear people that look and sound like them, Los Wiggles delivers wonderful Spanish-speaking entertainment that feels and sounds authentic.\u201d<\/p>\n Los Wiggles work directly with Field, as well as the entire Wiggles team to create all of the content.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing a member of Los Wiggles is quite an achievement in many ways,\u201d said Madrid. \u201cIn today\u2019s world, inclusion and diversity are critical, Los Wiggles offers a great way for all children to celebrate diversity, igniting their imagination and curiosity for other cultures and languages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Wiggles have a lineup of Spanish-language programming comprised entirely of a Hispanic cast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":21034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[666],"class_list":["post-21033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-the-wiggles","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
