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.
