"I consider Cri Cri a genius and a musician, very inspiring. Cri Cri has a huge collection of children's stories, each one with its corresponding music (songs.) He teaches kids about science, ethics, philosophy, honor, culture, geographic, mathematics, physics and more. Kids learn having fun. Additionally, kids develop music appreciation. Cri Cri experimented with almost allrhythms: classic, valet, jazz, salsa, country, tango, polka, and many more. Listening to Cri Cri is a fabulous music experience.
Cri Cri's material is only available in Spanish. These are stories and songs that adults can listen, with or without their children. Even when some tunes are a bit old fashion, 50's and 60's. They are refreshing and the stories very educating, especially in our modern times, where drugs, violence and chaos are predominant.

"We are an English speaking only, white American couple with a 10 month old daughter who we are exposing to Spanish in hopes of her learning to read and speak the language latter in life. We found this Cri Cri CD and bought it based on all the 5 star reviews here on Amazon...and wow, its awesome! We play it for the little one of course, but must admit that my wife and I love it to and find ourselves dancing around the living room to this CD - even if we don't understand the language. It sounds 'old-fashion', kind of like listening to an old LP vinal album, and that adds a lot a great character to it. You'll love this music!"

"Que sorpresa ! Haber encontrado todas estas canciones en un solo conjunto de CDs. A mis 33 años tengo a mi primer bebe de 2 meses. Y la musica me enternece mas que nunca y me hace recordar los momentos que pasaba con mi abuelita y con mi mama.

Classic children's songs

"This two volume collection is excellent. It includes a huge number of Cri Cri's classic children's songs. The songs are about animals, trains, children, all great compositions by Francisco Jose Gabilondo Soler of Veracruz, Mexico. Each song has a different musical style (tango, fox-trot, danzon, etc.); you will never get tired of hearing these albums. Singable, danceable, very up-beat and tender, these songs have been children's, and parent's, favorites since Soler began composing these pieces for the radio in the 30's."
