Hailed as “a bilingual rock star” by Jounal Washington Post, Latin Grammy Award winner MISTER G takes the stage for a special performance of Ti balèn, a fascinating glimpse into a baby whale’s first migration from Mexico to Alaska. Swim on in for a fun musical performance that you can flap your flippers along to!

When Juana is born in the warm waters of Mexico, the little gray whale isn’t quite what you’d call little – she’s already as big as a boat, and drinks more than 50 gallons of milk a day to keep growing! Soon it’s time to make a long journey with her pod to their summer feeding grounds. They swim north day and night, passing many familiar landmarks and carefully avoiding orcas and fishing nets. After spending the summer eating their fill in Alaskan waters, Juana and her pod return to their beautiful Mexican lagoon, where another baby is about to be born, and the cycle begins again.
