CantaJuego brings its musical adventure to families in Madrid

More than three million people have attended CantaJuego shows over more than 20 uninterrupted touring seasons, according to the organisers. The project celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2024.

On Saturday, 5 December 2026, the Palacio Municipal de IFEMA Madrid will host three performances of 'Yo quiero ser…'. The first starts at 12:30, followed by another at 16:00. The final show is scheduled for 19:00.

The show is recommended for children aged 1 to 8 and their families. It lasts around 80 minutes and tickets, available on the official CantaJuego website, start at 15 euros. The venue is located at avenida de la Capital de España, 5, in the Barajas district.

The story invites children to imagine their future through songs, dances, and interactive moments. They can become gardeners or astronauts, as well as doctors and teachers. Coco and Pepe accompany the main characters, while Buby completes the group of friends.

The show explores a world of games and challenges that turn into learning experiences. Its message focuses on friendship and self-esteem, presenting shared happiness as part of learning through play. Madrid’s agenda for those weeks also includes the Meninas edition, scheduled in different neighbourhoods from 15 November to 15 December.

CantaJuego is a pedagogical-musical project that uses songs and movement as tools to stimulate imagination and psychomotor skills. Body expression is also part of its approach. Pedro Zaidman created the project and directs its music. Matías Zaidman is involved in direction and executive production. Olivia Chica shares these tasks with Julián Fliess. The organisers state that the company gives more than 150 concerts a year and visits over 130 cities.
