Summer on the Hudson: The Funkey Monkeys

Joshua Sitron, the composer of the catchy tunes on Dora the Explorer, formed this swinging band in 2001 so he could connect with kids in person. The Monkeys’ concerts are a bit like Saturday Night Live for the younger set: hilarious songs interspersed with skits, plus plenty of antics from comedians and improvisers. Ages 1 to 7.
