Let’s Sing Songs From Around the World (Joyfully Bringing the World Together, One Song at a Time)

Let’s Sing Songs From Around the World! is a collection of sing-along songs from different countries that give students and teachers a peek into other cultures and languages. Included are songs from Greece, China, France, Japan, Israel (in both Hebrew and Arabic), The Philippines, Spain/Mexico, South Africa, Ireland, Australia, Brazil, America, as well as a Native American rattle chant. I searched for songs that everyone can sing, even if they don’t know the language. I wanted my students to feel another language in their mouths, to taste words from other cultures.

Let’s Sing Songs From Around the World! is a follow-up album to my award winning CD, Let’s Sing! (Parents Choice recommended, Creative Child Magazine’s Creative Child Award Best CD of 2018).

As the Good Folk Collective, we are joyfully, bringing the world together, one song at a time
