Panda and Friends

Turning up with a bop for children and parents, Portugal-based international YouTube phenomenon Panda and Friends (Panda E Os Caricas) is a new children project with lots of new music and colorful videos. Led by the most musically inclined bear you’ve ever met Panda, the collective of Friends—Matias, Pedro, Pipa, and Clarinha—first appeared on YouTube in Portugal in 2017, reinventing and re-energizing popular songs. There’s a Friend for everyone. Clad in bright red, curiosity drives Matias whose insatiable love for learning proves as infectious as the group’s harmonies. Pedro can hardly contain his energy, bouncing around in a blue tracksuit with a bold smile. Wearing yellow as bright as her personality, Pipa’s always pulling pranks and cracking jokes. The daydreamer of the bunch, pink-loving Clarinha inspires kids and adults to always think big. Then, there’s Panda. He’s the magical leader of the pack as cuddly and curious as the rest, yet a whole lot furrier and fuzzier, of course.
