If you have not yet had the pleasure of hearing Jose-Luis Orozco’s newest CD with Duck Duck Moose, Favorite Spanish Songs For Kids, you MUST! It is a brilliant arrangement of bilingual music made for both English and Spanish speakers filled with Latin and American classics that both parents and their children (or teachers and students) will enjoy for sure. The variety of tempo and rhyme in the music and lyrics provides a balanced range of lessons that help with language acquisition in young children that is sometimes difficult to find in Children’s Music. I love a good CD that teaches and entertains at the same time and this is one of those. There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy!
A couple of our favorites were “Buenos Dias” (Good Morning), and “Diez Deditos” (Ten Little Fingers) because they’re both sung in English and Spanish. In fact, I used to sing both these songs each morning as we gathered for circle time when I was a daycare provider. I was so thrilled to hear these songs on there! Another favorite that we all enjoyed was “Las Vocales” (The Vowels), also in English and Spanish. Hearing these familiar songs in both languages brought back so many memories of my preschool teaching days.
My own favorite from this CD was “Compadre Comprame Un Coco” (Buy Me A Coconut). I swear we played that song countless times together as a family, laughing at just trying to keep up with the hilarious 32-second tongue twister. Paired with some of his award-winning books like Diez Deditos and Other Play Rhymes and Action Songs from Latin America, and De Colores and Other Latin American Folk Songs, you’re sure to experience many fun-filled gatherings either at circle time if you’re a preschool teacher, or parent at home.
Listen to some short samples of this CD for yourself on the Duck Duck Moose site and also download the full lyrics in both English and Spanish!
(The entire album is available for purchase on iTunes for $9.99 and Google Play for $9.49.)

We love “Las Ruedas del Camion” – lots of fun lyrics and with all the cool gestures you can do, even the one year old gets into it! Gracias!
What a fun way to learn both languages. My daughter loves to sing and I think she will totally enjoy it. Thanks for the resources.

Do I have to pick just one favorite song?! I am a long time fan of Jose Luis Orozco and my kids love him too. But Los Elefantes is definitely a favorite we sing over and over again.
We love to sing along with Jose Luis Orozco. I woudl love to add a new CD to my classroom.
Definitely Los Dias de la Semana.

My three year old trilingual daughter goes absolutely nuts over “El Chocolate”. She is fluent in American Sign Language, Spanish and English and she often burts into song and will sign/sign the chorus “chocolate, chocolate,.. bate, bate el chocolate” in pretty much any spot! If you send me an email address I can send you one of the several adorable videos we have of her doing it! ; )
(and so winning this would make her beyond thrilled!)
My kids love “Los elefantes”

My students are huge fans of Diez Deditos! I would love to have more music to share with my wonderful students over here!

My son just said “OOOOOhhhh! I know this one! I love it!”
Los Elephantes
I love the album! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for… My girl goes to a Christian day care and they sing a ton of songs in English. This CD has a lot of their Spanish equivalents.
We especially loved “Compadre Comprame Un Coco”. So much fun!
Oh and I subscribed to the newsletter!
My kids loved all the songs – we sing these songs almost everyday!

Oh my goodness! I love all of them, but my favorite is the Platanos y Manzanas because I love that song in English and my son thinks it’s so funny. Similar to his “La mar estaba serena” song on his “Arrullos” album (I love that one because I bought it when my first was a newborn and I knew no lullabies in Spanish but was committed to raising him to be bilingual), you change all of the vowels in the phrase for each verse: platanas a manzanas, pletenes e menzenes, etc. It gets really funny when you get to the “o”s and “u”s.

La Araña Pequeñita was definitely my 2 year old’s favorite as she loves that song in English. I love the idea of the cd being bilingual as my girls and I are Native English speakers, who I am teaching Spanish at home. So it’s great for them to hear the lines of the songs they know and love then be sung in Spanish. So much more attainable for them!
All classics! I have never heard “Me gusta comer platanas y manzanas” sung en español before.
I subscribe.
Plátanos y Manzanas! Especially because my son just started eating plátanos.
We love “La Araña Pequeñita.”
My daughter just started a “two-way immersion” program as a Kindergartner where 90% of her day is in Spanish at school. She would love these songs. Also, my wife, children and I are big big fans of Duck Duck Moose. Thanks for making this giveaway possible.
nos gusta el abecedario, mi hijo lo esta aprendiendo, y platanos y manzanas,
