NUESTRA HERENCIA DE MUSICA DE NINOS
|
 These are the songs our grandparents learned as children here in the Southwest United States. The songs and games in the Stanley & Yolanda's collection represent children's music from New Mexico and California
gathered since 1966 from relatives, friends, neighbors, musicians,
teachers and old music books. Most of the songs are over 100 years old and
are currently being sung by Spanish speaking children throughout the
Spanish speaking world. I suspect that most of the songs and games came
with the Spanish conquistadors as early as 1492. The songs and games
recorded by Stanley A. Lucero are in use in many bilingual and ESL
classrooms throughout the Southwest. They are excellent gifts for the
children and grandchildren in your life. In addition to children's music, we have recorded several popular and traditional songs for your enjoyment.
Find us on Facebook. The lyrics to the songs are on these pages. |
Estas son las canciones que nuestros abuelos aprendieron como niños aquí en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos. Las canciones y juegos en la colección de Stanley & Yolanda representa música infantil de Nuevo México y California recopiladas desde 1966 de familia, amigos, vecinos, músicos, maestros y libros viejos de música. La mayoría de las canciones tienen más que 100 años y siguen siendo cantadas por niños de habla español por el mundo de habla español. Yo sospecho que casi todas las canciones y juegos vinieron con los conquistadores desde 1492. Las canciones y juegos grabadas por Stanley A. Lucero se están usando en muchos salones bilingües y de inglés como segundo idioma [ESL] atreves del suroeste. Son excelentes regalos para los niños y nietos en su vida. Además de música para los niños hemos grabado varias

A CONFERENCE DREAM:
I would like to attend, or help organize, a conference dedicated to Children's Music in Spanish where all of the workshops are conducted by recording artists, composers of children's music,teachers who use music in Spanish in their classrooms and other individuals dedicated to maintaining and preserving the Spanish songs and games of our cultural heritage. Anybody interested? Here is a list of some of the musicians I know about who have recorded children's music in Spanish.
In honor of educators who have directed cultural music and folklorico groups
Many high school teachers have dedicated their time and effort, over and above their contracts, to organize and promote cultural music groups. They practice with their groups before and after school. They take their groups on performances and trips.
The song Frijolitos pintos was written and recorded by Linda Escobar at the age of eight. Thank you for this beautiful song! I recorded Frijolitos pintos in 1973 on Canciones para ninos and rerecorded the song on the Dos voces CD in 1999.
THIS PROJECT IS ON HOLD DUE TO FUNDING:
Mas cuentos y cantos - a new recording of children's stories and songs in Spanish. Titles will include: Las partes del insecto, Hombrecito de jengibre, Gallinita Roja, Pronto iremos al zoológico and Metzli [by Yolanda M Lucero], Los caballitos [by Marcia Fernandez], La manzanita [by Carol Perkins] and many more. CD is about halfway recorded. We also hope to include other songs written by Yolanda during the past year. We need to start a fund raiser to pay for the recording time.
