Mister Felipe Cruises The Border Between Spanish & English
Our children are so fortunate to be exposed to many cultures and languages. Mister Felipe is a fun, bilingual children’s musician who sings songs in both English and Spanish. His new album, Cruzando El Border is so fun to listen to. My kids started dancing as soon as I put the CD on. Being a teacher, Philip Handmaker, aka Mister Felipe places the perfect combination of Spanish and English so the kids understand and soak it all in.
We are constantly listening to the CD in the car now, displacing other favourites. My youngest taps his toes to the music and my five year old recognizes some of the Spanish words. Each song focuses on a specific topic, ranging from counting to colours. Including children in the songs, singing along is always an added bonus. Our favourites (so far) are “I Like Animals (Me Gustan Los Animales) and “Let’s Go Outside (Vamos Afuera)”.
The CD is so cool that each song is a different style of music, like rock, reggae and Mambo, to mention a few. The variety really fits together well, leaving even parents grooving to the music.
You can find Mister Felipe’s Cruzando El Border online at CD Baby and iTunes. Be sure to check out Mister Felipe’s website at www.MisterFelipe.com where you will find. colouring pages and tons of educational resources. – by Chelle

Thanks for the chance to win this. We love music. Our oldest son plays his toy guitar to ALL songs he likes. It is entertaining for them and me. He is so funny. He calls himself a rock star and boy oh boy he has some rock star moves.

I’m always looking for tools to help me reenforce the Spanish I teach my daughter (since that’s my native language) as well as English (My husband’s, and the USA’s main language, hehe). This CD looks like a fun tool.

Everyone should learn another language at an early age. Our country has become far too monolingual. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
