Mexican-American treasure Orozco, a premier bilingual children’s music artist, performs nine Latin folk songs in Spanish, then repeats all the songs in English. A mix of traditional and original songs, they promote fitness through movement. The guest musicians perform with excellence on guitar, guitarrón, violin, congas, guiro, gaita, maracas, and tambor alegre. Several enthusiastic children join their voices with Orozco’s lively baritone vocals. “Clap, Tap, Tralala=Clap, Stomp, Tralala” will have listeners clapping, stomping, and singing along. “Los Pollitos=Baby Chicks” is a lullaby about hungry, sleepy baby chicks. Listeners are asked to stretch their arms in “Arriba, Abajo=Up High Down Low.” Jumping in time to “Palomitas de Maíz=Popcorn” will help listeners expend excess energy. “Domingo Flamingo” encourages listeners to balance on one foot at a time while counting from 1 to 10. Listeners are encouraged to move and dance with “Mónica.” Listeners can join in a circle dance or a conga line for “El Baile de los Colores=The Dance of All the Colors.” A traditional Mexican dance, “La Raspa,” urges listeners to dance with a partner. “Juanito” encourages listeners to move and dance along. Get those young couch potatoes up and moving with Orozco’s bright and lively new album! A great album for both home and classroom.
