In this awaited sequel to The Jazz Fly, the fly's band needs a lift to the tropical pachanga, or dance party. A sloth, spider monkey, and macaw are willing to help - but only if the fly can first chant the right words in Spanish.

At the Latin-style nightclub, local insects adore the fly's music. But dangers lurk outside the termite nest. Scat-singing like never before, the fly unwittingly triggers an emergency that only his creativity - and newly learned Spanish - can resolve. Once again, Matthew Gollub has created must-hear audio recordings that features rhythmic storytelling set to authentic, irresistible music. Listeners ages four and up will want to bop along and wriggle like beetles while Karen Hanke's witty illustrations transport them deep into the rain forest. Jumping with bongo drums, conga drums, sax solos, and more, this spirited adventure welcomes readers to the Spanish language and Latin Jazz.
