Chocolalala

PreS-Gr 3—Inspired by his concert tours throughout Latin America, Mister G (Ben Gundersheimer) has composed and performs 11 original songs in Spanish and English. He employs a wide range of musical styles (rhythms and melodies) from North and Latin America. Mister G is smooth, never missing a beat, due in large part to the stellar musicians in his backup band. Highlights include "Colores" (learn about colors in English and Spanish), "Chocolalala" (highlights the joys of eating chocolate), "Bailamos" (encourages dancing around many countries in Central and South America), "Uno Dos Tres" (count in English and Spanish), and "Big Yellow Bus" (a rap about riding the school bus). A top choice for libraries serving Hispanic populations as well as English-speaking communities since many things that both groups have in common are celebrated.—Stephanie Bange, Wright State University, Dayton, OH'
