Description

Take a wild trip with Antonio Rocha (Rocha is pronounced Haw-Sha) into the Amazon in South America and the forests of Africa. Antonio draws from his repertoire of Folktales with an ecological theme with a myriad of realistic sound effects, one of a kind movement and fantastical characters that will not only entertain but also educate. This ecological show teaches kids about the importance of our natural world and how we depend on it for our livelihood.
