We truly have a blast here at Mommy Maestra. To review such amazing products for children and then share with you and our own kids is a gift that keeps on giving. I am excited to write about Nathalia's latest musical contribution, Dream A Little, Sueña un Poquito today because I was truly hooked in the first 30 seconds of the first song of her new album. I was actually dancing in my seat!
When I heard Los Planetas I thought I was listening to a rock en español hit from the radio! The lyrics are truly bilingual, too. Here's a little peek:
Flying in my rocket ship, I’m an astronaut going to outer space
Voy en un cohete veloz
Voy en un cohete veloz
Un astronauta soy, al espacio voy
The album was a quick hit with my three boys too! The songs jumped from a cumbia to a lullaby, to more rock, salsa and pop. My favorite song is about bubbles! Pop, Pop, Pop's catchy beats and fun lyrics in Spanish and English, are super contagious. I am certain that children of all ages and adults will love all the songs!
Originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, Nathalia moved to the U.S to attend the Berklee College of Music. She continued her studies in Antioch University and received a Masters in Clinical Psychology. After her experience as a musical therapist, she discovered that she could use the tool of music to teach her children Spanish. She has currently developed a second music album, which can purchased HERE, but will also be released on major online stores on December 12.
You can listen to a sample of her album on her site here. There are 10 songs on this album that teach children about everything from the planets to the Amazon. The titles are:
- Los Planetas
- El Amazonas
- Magical
- Shine
- Norah's World
- Pop Pop Pop
- Shake Them Bones
