about

A collection of world stories and songs for children and the whole family. Many of the stories come from the African tradition of storytelling which contain songs, music and rhythms. This album came about through Debbie joining the music classes that Oren was running for parents with babies and toddlers. Combining Debbie's storytelling and singing with Oren's musicality and improvisation, a magical experience developed. They decided to put this into an album and make it available to all.
