Aimed at children age 4 to 10, Alerta Sings & Songs for the Playground is an hourlong festival of bilingual music, a word and tune party of English-Spanish immersion. An enthused chorus of youthful voices and a host of musicians on guitar and piano alongside Latin American instruments, including the bombo, cuatro, and afuche, accompany educator and musician Suni Paz on these traditional and original songs. Each ditty and rhyme tickles the tongue, is simple to sing, and smartly slides from one language to another. Children and parents will delight in such recess jump-rope standards as "Cinderella" and "Punchinella," and will join in on "La Gatita Carlota (Kitty Carlota)" or "Cancion de Tomar el Te (Songs for Tea Time)." This one will resonate well with fans of Maria Del Rey and Jose-Luis Orozco. --Paige La Grone --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
From Parents' Choice®
An excellent musician and outstanding performer who has worked with school age children in the U.S. since coming here from Chile over 25 years ago, Paz is a national treasure! Unfortunately, this recording tries to do too much: it combines young children's lullabies, rhymes and songs with songs for older children on the playground.
