I am pleased to announce the release of a Kids Music Company (Janet Channon and Wendy Jensen) album entitled Mango Tango. I was contracted as Musical Director / Arranger for this project, but also ended up joint Co-Producer with Bruce Lynch. The musicians were (amongst others) Alex Griffith, Dixon Nacey, Lance Bentley, Ambrose Splescia, Jo Spiers and Oliver Emmitt, what a great band!! King Kapisi and Teremoana Rapley were guest vocalists on four tracks.
This album is aimed at children between the ages of 3-8 and is one of three yearly projects that will involve a collaboration between the Kids Music Company and myself. For more information about buying this album and child musical education in general please visit www.kidsmusic.co.nz and www.kidsmusiccompany.com.
Join the mango, watermelon and their juicy friends for some healthy fun; guaranteed to get you moving. Rap with King Kapisi as you try to co-ordinate a one-sided dance. Play shadows, drive a digger, dance with the dinosaurs and cook a healthy breakfast for a giant. Bulldozers, birthdays, bubbles, balls, bananas and baked beans blend with hoedown, rock, reggae, swing, tango, hip-hop and electronica. The huge variety of musical styles keeps children and adults (alike) entertained. Learning is made more fun.
