ABCD: Art Building Children’s Dreams now has a CD of wonderful original music with which we can raise more funds for the children. It’s called NYIMBO ZA WATOTO (Songs for the Children).
Musicians/songwriters were found who graciously agreed to donate a song or two. Colin MacDonald, a good friend (and my oldest former student!), came on board to do the great artwork and design. Mastering of the CD was done by Sam Reid of Slip One Digital. He’s a member of Glass Tiger. It’s an exciting eclectic mix of styles of music ranging from ballads, to klesmer/reggae, to indie vocals, to hot latin beats, to electronic instrumental rhythms, to African folk sung by children.
Inside the case is a wonderful booklet which contains all the lyrics of the songs, photos of all the children and a thumbnail photo of an artwork by each of them. The booklet itself is a treasure!
Use the button on this page to order and pay for a copy via PayPal, or simply email us to order one and pay by cheque. To give you an idea of how the funds can be used: the sale price of $15 (plus $5 for shipping within Canada) pays for school lunches for a child for ONE YEAR!
