Synopsis

Album Description
El doble de amigos/Twice as Many Friends, the first family recording by popular Latin group Sol y Canto, is twice as much fun. This collection of original songs and fresh, bilingual interpretations of favorites from Latin America and the United States is a joyous celebration of music, language, culture and childhood. The songs are fun and infectiously danceable with lyrics that invite singing and dancing along. Featuring a rocking horn section and a children's chorus, Sol y Canto has created an irresistible recording with true multi-cultural appeal. Children will enjoy the flawless blend of English and Spanish and whether they are being exposed to either or both languages for the first time they will come away with a variety of new words and an appreciation of two wonderful cultures. Includes suggested activities to accompany the songs.

An enthusiastically recommended bilingual music CD
Midwest Book Review | Oregon, WI USA | 03/10/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Twice As Many Friends / El Doble De Amigos is an enthusiastically recommended bilingual music CD meant to introduce children to the lively beat of Latin music. Performed by internationally acclaimed band Sol y Canto ("Sun and Song"), Twice As Many Friends brings together dance-worthy rhythms, high-energy vocals, and joyful lyrics sung in both English and Spanish spanning topics such as numbers, days of the week, parts of the body, self-esteem, ethnic diversity, peace, flying kites, and more. The bilingual songs include Twice As Many Friends (3:01), The Train Party (2:30), Banana (3:49), Little Paper Boat (2:26), Numbers (1:46), 7 Days (2:19), Let's Go Fly Kites! (2:59), Peace Will Come (3:13), Shake It Morena (1:50), The One & Only (0:57), Planet House (2:47), Under One Sky (3:58), My Body Makes Music (2:04), Shoes (2:22), Careful! It Might Be Hot (2:44), and Rainbow (5:37)."
The best Spanish CD for kids!
JHC | Cambridge, MA | 08/16/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have ordered a number of different CDs in my quest to teach my kids some Spanish. All others have paled in comparison to this favorite. The songs are beautiful and fun! Unlike the children's CDs you have that grate on adult nerves, you'll be happy to hear this one again and again. I even listen to it when my kids aren't around. And, best of all, my children--ages 6 and 2--adore this album and have learned so many Spanish words and phrases that they recognize when we hear Spanish in other contexts. The songs have very clever lyrics, often arranged in a smooth alternation of Spanish and English, maintaining artful rhymes in both languages. I couldn't recommend this CD any more highly. Please help me convince Sol y Canto to record a follow-up children's CD!!!!!"
Fun and educational

"I am a bilingual mom raising 3 kids in NJ. Dad doesn't speak spanish and neither do our neighbors. Teaching them spanish has been a challenge. This CD is excellent. The songs are kid-friendly and have great latin rhythms. The kids are picking up phrases and hearing proper linguistics. Can't wait for volume 2!"
