Sesame Street - Fiesta!

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Childrens
starring: Celia Cruz, Linda Ronstadt

Release Date April 06, 2004
This really keeps my 18 month's interest- the songs are catchy and entertaining. It has Linda Rondstat and Celia Cruz! It is a fun video he wants to watch over and over- it lasts about 30 minutes. It is not an educational video per se, although he is repeating the words in spanish (like the numbers)..it is pure entertainment and fun.

My mother grew up listening to some of these lullabies (she is from Peru). It is a classic! I use a couple of songs to comfort my children when they are upset. My kids love it!

Diez Deditos

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Childrens
by: José-Luis Orozco

Release Date December 28, 2004
I am so grateful to the friend who introduced us to the world of Spanish music for children by Jose-Luis Orozco. He is fabulous. The music is very clever - it at once is catchy and fun for the kids while teaching them language basics (unlike some of the horrible CDs put out by less imaginative sources). We bought both of his CDs and the music books that accompany them - it is helpful to see the words (they do not come with this CD, you must purchase the books separately). The books are also well worth the money (although some of the English translations are truly laughable). I cannot recommend this product highly enough to the parent or teacher who wants to bring the zest and warmth of the Latin American musical spirit into their home. ... Read More:

Latin Lullaby

Release Date August 25, 1998
This CD is so beautiful--I would be happy to own it even if I didn't have children. We have 5 month old twins so it's too early for us to know if they like the cd, but I'll be surprised if they don't. I even gave it to another friend as a gift.

The Three Caballeros

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Childrens
starring: Aurora Miranda, Carmen Molina, Dora Luz, Sterling Holloway, Clarence Nash
directed by: Norman Ferguson

Release Date May 02, 2000
This Disney movie is interesting in that it is virtually plotless. It begins with a couple of cute cartoons about a penguin and then a flying donkey, but later turns into a Latin American travelogue, that evovles into a full-blast, semi-erotic, Mexican, acid trip. And the movie was made some twenty years before the psychodelic sixties! Actually, from what I understand, it was produced as part of of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Good Neighbor Policy" initiative concerning Latin America.

I think that it's all highly imaginative and my three year old loves it, as did his older siblings and his cousin when they were his age. The kids are too young to grasp the sexy images of the 1940s; and they all love the cartoons, old Latin music and ... Read More:

Release Date April 05, 2000
I first checked out this cd at the library for my 2 year old son and we loved it! We are teaching my son spanish and this was just perfect. My husband isn't a native spanish speaker, but he enjoyed it and liked that some of the songs are in both spanish and english. Great songs, very catchy and clever.

Al Agua Pato Latin American Music for Children

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Childrens
by: Cantare

Release Date October 06, 2005
I bought this CD as a resource to teach Spanish to my kids during their Summer vacation. They have learned new words and sing "La mar estaba serena..." quite often. Also it is great to expose them to different Latin American rithms. It has also some songs that are good for teaching kids how to dance moving hips at the rithm of music. Mom burns calories and kids too! We all have fun!

Disney Presenta Cantar y Jugar

CD-Charts > Music > Latin Childrens
by: Disney

Release Date February 11, 2003
This CD was not at all what I expected or what the cover portrayed. I thought this would be a collection of fun children's songs in Spanish, maybe some well-known preschool songs translated in Spanish. Instead, these songs sound like traditional old world hispanic music that is not appealing to my kids or myself at all.
