Daria’s voice is the magic that advocates love, peace and unity. Daria has traveled the world, from where she draws her inspiration for her multicultural music – made for children. Her smooth jazzy voice, perfect for children – brings together rather than tearing apart. It teaches about other cultures, instruments, introduces new rhythms and challenges prejudice. Take a look at some of my favorite songs of Daria taken directly from her YouTube page.
Just lovely, isn’t it?
Songs for a Merry Multicultural Mirth
This year, we have been listening to her holiday album (Songs for a Merry Multicultural Mirth) a lot. We put it on the iPod, and we listen to it while in the car and at home. It’s a collection of 5 beautiful songs written for children.
Ocho Candelikas – A Beautiful Hanukkah song from Spain in the language Ladino.
Feliz Navidad – Writeen by Peurto-Rican singer/songwriter Jose Feliciano, this song is loved the world over.
Oh Dreydl – This Hanukkah song from America is about the great little spinning top played at this time of year in the Jewish faith – the dreydl.
Ihr Kinderlein Kommet – My favorite, this beautiful Christmas Carol in German was written in 1798 by Christoph Von Schmid.
A Rockin’ Jingle Bells – Did you know that Jingle Bells was actually written for Thanksgiving?
Complete lyrics, facts and activities can be downloaded on Daria’s website here.
We enjoy the music very much. This year, we listened to the album while we enjoyed hot chocolate and decorated our Christmas Tree!
So much fun!
