Our Story

Criss Cross Mangosauce is a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural performing group that’s a “must-see treat” for children, families, and educators passionate about the Spanish language and Latino culture. Since launching our first CD in 2007, our award-winning team has brought the vibrant flavors of “Mangosauce” to life, captivating audiences at libraries, schools, and cultural events across the U.S.

Words from the founder

It brings me immense joy to create educational and artistic spaces for children. My work is rooted in opening, facilitating, and reflecting the rich experiences that each audience member brings with them. Whether they are children, parents, librarians, educators, or artists, EVERYONE has something valuable to contribute. My role is to challenge and dismantle the power dynamics and divisions that traditionally separate roles within educational spaces. We are ALL protagonists, and we ALL belong to this shared journey we call Education.
