This CD just puts me in a good mood. It makes me want to sing-a-long, if only my daughter would let me, and to relax with a tall bubbly drink. Oh, yes, it’s also totally entertaining for your bilingual or Spanish-learning child as well. Thomas, AKA the Spanglish Wrangler, knows his music. The birth of his two children, coupled with his love of Spanish, led him on a journey to compose 12 enchanting songs where Spanish and English effortlessly flow to the beat of blues, acoustic rock, and overall good-vibe music.
Amongst my favorite tracks is the acoustic”Emociones” where he grooves about basic emotions: “When I’m triste I’ll cry” or “My head is high when I’m orgulloso.” The first time we heard it my daughter proclaimed: “Me no cry. Me feliz!” And me feliz, too.
You won’t be able to stop yourself from singing along with his translation of the classic “You Are My Sunshine” which he titled “Eres Mi Vida.” I know, this song has been done and redone so many times, but the Spanglish Wrangler hit the mark here converting it into a soft, yet rhythmic, acoustic melody in Spanish you’ll want to sing while in a lovely embrace. Ok, again, if my daughter will let me!
I’m thankful the Spanglish Wrangler sent us a copy of this CD to review so we can honestly let you know about this treasure of indie, original bilingual music for our niños. We have three copies to give away, but you can also go to his site to listen to all the tracks and to find out where it’s sold.

I like “emociones” best. Of course, I’ve just been teaching my kids more descriptive words by adding words for sentimientos into their writing, so the song fits right in.
