CD ReviewsLively tribute to children's inborn way of living & learning Dr. Kristen M. Kemple, Mother (and | Gainesville, Florida United States | 03/25/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Mama, do you know why I like Raffi songs? Because you get to make believe." My five-year-old's spontaneous response to "Let's Play" speaks volumes. Children are not merely entertained by music: they ought to be fully engaged by it. Raffi and collaborators do not underestimate the intelligence, musical sensibilities, and imaginative capacities of their young audience. "Let's Play" is a joyful and soulful celebration of life in all its forms. The music on this album sparkles. The instrumentation is both textured and clear: individual instruments (...and noises.... and animal calls...and sound effects...) are readily identifiable. The music is not over-orchestrated; children seem to like this translucence (I do too). The lyrics are bright, straightforward, sometimes profound in their simplicity and sometimes just plain fun. The Raffi and Raffi/Michael Creber originals are favorites in my household so far -- Jane Jane, Arbutus Baby, Roots and Shoots, Raining like Magic, and Blessed Be have been frequent requests. Parents needn't fear losing brain cells nor going nuts from repeated second-hand listening. This music is far more than tolerable from an adult perspective: It is good. "Lets Play" is fun, ardent, exuberant, and bursting with life. The album lives up to its title: It respects and celebrates children's natural way of engaging with music and with the rest of life -- through Play." A great addition to our collection Dr. Kristen M. Kemple, Mother (and | 10/30/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "My kids fell in love with this upbeat collection of songs. We are real Raffi fans, and this latest CD has quickly become a favorite. Even my 2 year old can't get enough of the catchy tunes. Mom's favorite is "Yellow Submarine". The best thing about Raffi is that it's kids' music that anyone can enjoy. The songs are meaningful yet fun. Thanks, Raffi!" Great for kids of all ages and parents too! Staci B. | PA | 01/25/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the first Raffi cd I've gotten for my 17 month old daughter and she absolutely loves it! If I play it in the car, her carseat can barely contain her, she gets so excited. I love it too because it's not at all annoying (like some children's music can be). I actually find myself listening to it even if she's not in the car. My daughter's favorite is the title track "Let's Play". I think I like "May There Always Be Sunshine" the most. It was a poem written by a Russian child in the 1950's, with a timeless, universal message: May there always be sunshine
May there always be blue skies May there always be mama May there always be me Raffi put it to music and translated it into several languages, and it makes an exceptional lullaby." |
