El Reino Infantil began in 1977, a children's music group that became known for simple, catchy songs. Their track 'El Pollito Pío' is probably what most people remember, a tune that's been around long enough to feel like it was always there. They also recorded songs like 'Las Manos Hacia Arriba' and 'Sol, Solecito,' straightforward sing-alongs for kids.
There was some noise about 'El Pollito Pío' not being entirely original, with talk of it borrowing from an older French melody. The group stuck by their version, and the song kept its place in nurseries and preschools anyway. Their early albums, like the self-titled 1977 release and 1979's 'Canta y Baila con el Reino Infantil,' collected these kinds of playful, educational tunes.
They kept putting out records through the early 80s, with 'Cuentos y Canciones' in 1981 and a hits compilation in 1985. The music doesn't try to be complicated, it's just the sort of thing parents put on to keep small children occupied, with titles like 'Bebé Tiburón' and 'La Gallina Turuleca' filling out their catalog.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
