Music always makes the car ride more tolerable - but this CD is number 1 in our collection. My 14 month old daughter giggles, imitates, and claps along. Mr. Orozco knows how to make the most simple of messages fun!

This is a great album no matter what your language. Songs are upbeat and very catchy. I love them all, which is fortunate because these are the kind of songs that get stuck in your head and stay with you long after the music stops. You will baila baila baila all day long! Some of the songs are quite repititious-- I find this wonderful for learning the songs and the language but it does sometimes get on my husband's nerves. If you don't know Spanish I highly reccommend getting the book as well to explain the songs, but once you know what they are saying it's a great way to learn some Spanish and have fun while you're doing it.

We sing the songs as much as our kids who are 2 and 5 years old. The songs are fun, easy to understand, and educational. Wait - let me emphasize the fun part again! A must for your collection of kids music.

My two-year old loves this CD and the CD "De Colores". She can sing several of the songs and constantly asks "How do you say in Spanish?" Unless you happen to know these songs, lyrics, and the hand gestures, you should also get the accompanying songbook. This CD does not contain lyrics or info about how to do the hand gestures on these songs. The songbook has the most beautiful illustrations of any children's book, as well as the translations, and hand gestures.

I am so grateful to the friend who introduced us to the world of Spanish music for children by Jose-Luis Orozco. He is fabulous. The music is very clever - it at once is catchy and fun for the kids while teaching them language basics (unlike some of the horrible CDs put out by less imaginative sources). We bought both of his CDs and the music books that accompany them - it is helpful to see the words (they do not come with this CD, you must purchase the books separately). The books are also well worth the money (although some of the English translations are truly laughable). I cannot recommend this product highly enough to the parent or teacher who wants to bring the zest and warmth of the Latin American musical spirit into their home. Because of these CDs I am able to more easily teach my child Spanish, she naturally learns the songs and sings along and I use this as a foundation to speak with her and describe the meanings to her.

My 4 and one-half year old is learning spanish in school. He loves this CD and the pronunciation is so clear, we can learn the words and sing along. Very catchy tunes by a great vocalist!

Very catchy songs. Singer articulates spanish very well. Authentic, native spanish songs. Beautifully done. My daughter gets excited everytime I play this CD

We got this CD to start teaching our 12 month old to Spanish and we ended up loving it ourselves. It has a lot of songs on it and he talks in Spanish once in a while. He has a great voice for little kids. Two tumbs up for sure!

This is a wonderful collection of Spanish songs and fingerplays, perfect for toddlers through kindergarten. I use it every day in my bilingual preschool classroom.

I used this over and over when doing storytimes as a working librarian. Now that I am a retired Grandma, I play it over and over for my grandbabies. They LOVE his music, as do I!! You can't go wrong with any of his albums...they are all great!
