Released in 1974, ¡Sesame Mucho! was Sesame Street 's first bilingual album. The album featured guest stars Malo, Jose Feliciano, and Vikki Carr singing with the Muppets and human cast, as they taught them Spanish words and phrases. The first edition of the album included all of the lyrics to the songs printed on the inner sleeve. This album was later re-issued under the title Welcome!

Album Notes
Welcome to "Sesame Mucho!" (¡Bienvenidos a "Sesame Mucho!") The Children's Television Workshop is proud to present what we believe is the first nationally distributed bilingual recording for the millions of children of both Spanish and English speaking backgrounds. The songs of "Sesame Mucho," as performed by the Sesame Street cast and our Latin guest stars (Jose Feleciano, Vikki Carr and Malo), combine the richness of two cultures with the magic of childhood. Young and old alike will delight in this unique musical and educational experience. After listening to "Sesame Mucho," we're sure you'll agree with Big Bird and Luis that:
- "No matter what your language,
No matter what your name
The ways people feel can be the same."
This educational product was created in cooperation with the Children's Television Workshop, producers of Sesame Street. Children do not have to watch the television show to benefit from this record. Workshop revenues from this product will be used to help support CTW educational products.
