I don’t know one parent who can’t start singing a Raffi tune on command. “Mr. Golden Sun” is the one that I can spout off without even thinking, but if I put my mind to it, I can hum so many more of the songs that he sang to my children when they were babies and toddlers through our CD player.
Now he is back with a new album called Love Bug. Here is an adorable video featuring the title track:
Raffi is out on tour and he is making a stop right here in Malibu at Smothers Theater at Pepperdine University on October 26 at 1:00 PM. His New York concert sold out, and I’d bet that his Malibu show will sell out too – so get your tickets here.
I am happy to announce that I am giving away a set of 4 tickets to a lucky reader, courtesy of Music For Little People (check out their Facebook page!). What a great opportunity to see Raffi in concert as a family! Follow the instructions below – this contest is open now through 12:00 AM on October 21. The winner will be chosen at random from qualifying entries and notified via email (so make sure you leave that when you comment). Tickets will be held at will call at the theater box office for pickup on 10/26. Good luck, and keep on singing!
Baby Beluga. My aunt loved Raffi and I would listen to him whenever I visited my cousins. Brings back memories!
Bananaphone (doo-doo-doo-doo) is still sung in our house on a regular basis. (And as you know, I have teenagers!)
Fun fact: I used to work for Raffi’s former record label (the now-defunct MCA Records).
Great prize, Kim. Some lucky family is going to have a blast!
I am a teacher and have been using Raffi in class, would love to take a couple of students.
Baby Beluga!
We love Raffi!

I’m actually embarrassed at how excited I am about this giveaway! When I was little my mom took me to a few Raffi concerts and I’d love to take my own kids now. (Though Baby Beluga has been stuck in my head for nearly 3 decades).
