Atención Atención is a Puerto Rican live action/puppet children's television show formed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 2005[1] starring three costumed characters and their friends, the Atención Atención band. Atención Atención explores a single topic in each episode, e.g. "Colors," "Friends," and "Means of transportation," through songs and short storylines in the half-hour program. Additionally, the show teaches children life and social skills, such as sharing and travels around the world with Vera the traveling flea. It also encourages viewers to move along with and dance with the characters in the program.[2] It all started in 1999 giving music workshops to kindergarten teachers in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic and with Víctor Rivera's vision of a live action TV show that was a cross between Sesame Street and MTV, the band filmed their first DVD in 2006.
