Semillitas, the children’s animation channel owned by SOMOSTV (a company led by Luis Villanueva and part of SOMOS Group), has licensed the popular series MUSIPACHES (ROCKOONS) to Fairlight Distribution LTD, which will premiere it in October. The SOMOSTV channel is known for broadcasting cutting-edge animation in a safe, commercial-free, and violence-free environment, packaged in culturally relevant content aimed at the Latino community in the United States, Central America, Panama, and the Caribbean. Semillitas supports parents in educating and entertaining young children, ensuring they are not exposed to inappropriate content. The animation is in High Definition, and the channel includes Closed Captions and Audio Description for children who need them. This commitment earned it the Outstanding Achievement: Spanish Media Award from the American Council of the Blind.
The Musipaches series follows a delightful group of raccoons—Doka, Re, Mimi, Lala, Faf, Sisi, and Soh—who live inside a magical music box. These friendly raccoons love to explore, play games, dance, and sing. Each character has a unique personality and talent that children can easily relate to. What unites them all is their love for music and songs. Musipaches uses colorful, stylized 2D digital animation specially designed to appeal to preschool-aged kids. The characters have soft shapes, engaging expressions, and smooth movements that follow the rhythm of songs and rhymes. A key goal of the series is to develop and enrich vocabulary through diverse language techniques. The raccoons are curious—anything new must be investigated! Even familiar objects take on new meanings and uses in their clever little paws. In each episode, the raccoons introduce different musical numbers using creatively repurposed items. The playful lyrics spark children’s imagination.
Semillitas features animated series such as Maya the Bee, Angelina Ballerina, Strawberry Shortcake, Bob the Builder, Little People, Caillou, Fireman Sam, among others—part of a lineup enhanced by unique, educational interstitials celebrating cultural values, holidays, and traditions. Joining this internationally successful animation package is now Musipaches. Semillitas also enjoys growing popularity on social media, promoting both its programming and educational messages, which supports its linear channel marketing.
Luis Villanueva, President and CEO of Somos Group, expressed his enthusiasm for this new series: “Musipaches represents our ongoing commitment to delivering the best educational entertainment in the best environment for little ones. We love working alongside parents to entertain, promote, and reinforce values, culture, and knowledge for our audience—helping shape a new, positive generation prepared for the challenges ahead. This series perfectly reflects the mission of our channel and joins a lineup of top-tier programming.”
