In her highly interactive performances, kids and families love singing along in Spanish and English, dancing in and out of their seats while learning about musical instruments and rhythms from Latin America. Sonia’s messages of finding hope and connection in our global community inspire and excite children and grown ups of all backgrounds. Stay Connected with Sonia De Los Santos!

The freeway was built with several amenities that were meant to mitigate its harmful impacts, but decades later, the promise of reconnecting City Heights remains unfulfilled. In other news, the San Diego Foundation recently awarded millions of dollars in scholarships to local college students. Plus, while two Hollywood strikes mean actors and writers can't promote their projects at this week's San Diego Comic-Con, the show must go on, and the Gaslamp Quarter is beginning to transform.
