I am thoroughly impressed with Cancioncitas de Los Andes e-book and CD by Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou. Daria is an accomplished musician who travels around the world sharing her passion for multicultural music with others. Cancioncitas de Los Andes is a special project as Daria shares music from her own childhood corner of the world.
Cancioncitas de Los Andes CD
The CD brings to life the rich culture of the people of Venezuela, Peru, Columbia, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, and Chile who live in the Andes Mountains. The beautiful music from the Charango, Chapchas, and other traditional Andean instruments blend beautifully to produce a charming cd. We not only enjoyed listening to the CD during our reading of the ebook, coloring, and project, but also enjoyed listening to the music during school time or in the car too. I really love the mostly instrumental cd. (You can listen to samples of Cancioncitas de Los Andes on Amazon)
Cancioncitas de Los Andes ebook
The 28 page ebook is so beautiful put together. It helps your child to see what life is like for the people from who live in the Andes Mountains. Beautiful photographs will make the customs, local animals, and traditions come alive to your child. My kids were very interested in all the vivid pictures. I love how the author, Daria, included information on what local kids life is like. It really made it come alive to my children.
Life in the Andes Mountains Coloring Pages
Also included in the ebook are several fun coloring sheets that will help reinforce some of the unique animals and cultural elements. My children were impressed by the Charango (a 10 stringed instrument made form the shell of a hairy armadillo) and a intrigued by Chapchas (rattle made from goat or sheep toenails).
