MUSICIANS who have recorded children's songs in Spanish. These are some of the cds/ cassettes/ records that Yolanda and I have in our private collection and use in our classrooms. We recommend them highly. The musicians are listed alphabetically and I have included as many links as possible to help you shop. One of my dreams is that we will have an annual conference of Children's Music in Spanish where the musicians and teachers who use their music in their classrooms are the workshop presenters. Two CDs: En el lejano bosque, Papaloapan/River of Butterflies, and a Songbook. Lichi Fuentes and Alisa Peres share "the folkloric music of Latin America with children and families all over California."
