Harpbeat a Multicultural Winner.......2001-11-12

I've used this CD with Grades 3 through 5 in an urban school setting. Most kids' music bores this group, raised on rap, but Harpbeat was a hit--especially the Nigerian chant, Chay Chay Koolay. The kids really loved it, and sing it throughout the hallways.
