Asheba’s Caribbean Music for Children and Hot Peas and Butter, Best of the Bowl, Ingles and Espanol are two must have CDs for kids.
I will admit that, at times, I was tired of listening to my three year old’s CD’s in the car…until I started listening to these CD’s. Not only are they fun to listen to but they also teach many important concepts in both English and Spanish! Asheba’s goal is to try to encourage hope and happiness in children of all ages. I encourage you to read his blog and visit his web site. The site also provides samples of the music as well as videos. “In the Kid Zone” was nominated for a Grammy in the category, “Best Musical Album for Children“. My three year old loves listening to it, and I love the fact that she is gaining exposure to an interactive multicultural album! This would also be a great addition to a pre-school classroom or a daycare center.
Hot Peas and Butter, Best of the Bowl Ingles and Espanol” is as wonderful as the title sounds. Every song on this album will have you and your little ones singing right along. You may even find yourself playing this album when you are alone. This album won the 2006 and 2008 “Parent’s Choice Award.” The first song on the album, “Round the World” gives you a delightful trip around the world. I was delighted that my three year old added the following words to her vocabulary: Bolivia, Peru, North America, and South America just to name a few. In “Somos Familia Redux” they sing about family names in Spanish. My three year old now knows that her uncle is “Mi Tio“. How incredible! Their mission is to inspire creativity in children and adults and have raised over 10 million dollars for St.Jude Children’s Foundation.
