BUSTER

You may know Buster as Arthur's best friend. Since his parents divorced, Buster has lived with his mom, Bitzi. But now he's traveling with his dad, Bo. Buster is one of the world's great explorers. He's interested in everything around him. He loves food, and he dreams of aliens. To keep in touch with all his friends, Buster sends them video postcards using a camera his mom gave him.

Buster's father Bo

BO

Buster's dad Bo is a professional pilot. Los Viajeros, a Latin American rock group, hired Bo to fly them on their multi-city tour across the United States - with forays into Mexico, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Bo really enjoys the chance to spend more time with his son.

Los Viajeros singers

CARLOS & MORA VELASQUEZ

This husband-and-wife team front the band, Los Viajeros ("The Travelers"). Carlos is from the western Puerto Rican town of Rincon. He sings back-up vocals and plays the lead guitar. In addition to playing the guitar, he also plays a number of string instruments from across Latin America, including the charango, the viguela, and the arpa. Mora's parents are from Mexico, but she grew up in New York City. She sings lead vocals, but often plays the accordion that her dad brought with him when he first arrived from Mexico.

And, of course, Buster is in touch with all his friends back home. Discover them on the Arthur Web site.
