Moona Luna is the passionate second project of New York-based songwriter Sandra Velasquez and her critically acclaimed Latin band Pistolera. For the last five years, Pistolera has toured extensively, delighting fans of all ages around the globe. During the making of Pistolera’s second album, Velasquez gave birth to her first child. But the experience didn't slow her down.

In fact, with her daughter as inspiration, Velasquez wrote an album's worth of songs geared for families. After writing exclusively in Spanish for Pistolera, she decided to make Moona Luna's songs bilingual so that her simple messages of joy, discovery and perseverance would reach more young ears.

Piñata Party is a new CD of bouncy, Latin-inspired bilingual music that perfectly captures the spirit of an outdoor family party.  The new CD offers a dozen chunks of delicious and inviting ear candy to engage and satisfy people of all ages. 


"...a soundtrack for bilingual/bicultural Latino kids. The four-member band has done it both musically and lyrically, mixing Mexican folk and cumbia with a rock sensibility and alternating smoothly between English and Spanish." - New York Daily News
