Panda and Caricas continue to delight children and adults with the release of their new song, “Ginástica com o Panda”, now available on YouTube and the Panda Channel. This lively song, a version of the iconic theme “Iko Iko”, promises to delight children with a positive message.
“Iko Iko” is a popular song originating from New Orleans that has been covered in countless versions over the years. More recently, an adaptation by Papua New Guinean artist Justin Wellington under the title “Iko Iko (My Bestie)” became an international hit in 2021, fueled by a viral TikTok challenge. Now, Panda and Caricas give their special touch to the song with a unique version, created to encourage children to exercise in a fun and playful way.
In just a few days, the official video has already surpassed 50 thousand views on YouTube, occupying #25 in Music Trends on this platform, a reflection of the fans’ enthusiasm. Before reaching the general public, “Ginástica com o Panda” premiered exclusively on Panda +.
This release reinforces Panda and Caricas’ status as the biggest children’s musical phenomenon in Portugal. The recent musical “Quando Eu Crescer”, presented in 2024, was an absolute success, bringing together more than 40 thousand spectators in several cities, such as Lisbon, Porto, Viseu, Coimbra, Guimarães, Portimão and Évora.
The show transported the children to the magical “Bairro do Panda”, where, through a fun Peddy Paper, they discovered fascinating professions and learned that their dreams have no limits. In addition to the charming stories, the musical featured the group’s greatest hits, such as “Sou Uma Taça” and “Siga o Panda”.
The Panda e os Caricas project, the result of a collaboration between Universal Music Portugal and Canal Panda, continues to achieve impressive numbers: more than 3.18 million subscribers on YouTube and 3.7 billion views.
With the new song “Ginástica com o Panda”, the group once again brings fun and positive messages, encouraging children to move and explore the world through dance and imagination.
