Colombian born
Nathalia Palis-McLaughlin performs ten original bilingual songs in Latin, rock
and reggae musical styles. Backing up her lovely vocals are excellent musicians
performing on guitar, keys, accordion, violin, horns, bass, drums, and
percussion. A lively children’s chorus joins in on the songs. “Dinosaur Dance”
starts out with jungle sound effects and dinosaur roars, and encourages
listeners to move like various dinosaurs. “Senor Opuesto” always does the
opposite thing from his friend. In “It’s My Birthday,” a child worries that
everyone has forgotten his big day, but a surprise awaits him. Giant ants,
monsters and witches are just some of the “Pesadillas” (nightmares) experienced
by a child. “Que Llueva” celebrates rain and touches on the water cycle. “When
I Grow Up” suggests several career opportunities. “La Iguana Pepa” eats Mom’s
flowers, so she chases him with a broom. The remaining songs are “Oh, Math,” “Que
Me Dices Tu,” and “Otra Vez.” This album will help both Spanish-speakers and
English-speakers learn a little of the other language.
