For anyone who in interested in teaching young students (K-5) about Latin music, I recommend a new album, Ninos Volume 2. It’s similar to the Kids Bop series, however it takes current Latin (Pop, Reggaeton, etc…) hits and re-records the music with children friendly lyrics. Here is the

Not so sure....

I like the idea of using kids albums as a teaching tool, but I'm not sure about the "Reggaeton for Ninos" recommendation.
I came across the following discussion when looking for reviews on some of these albums:

Seems like "Reggaeton for Ninos" is a controversial album and that the possible sexual innuendo could get a teacher into trouble. A safer choice might be a more neutral album, like Tatiana's "Brinca".
Other comments??

In an early childhood bilingual class, music is a must. For learning English Raffi songs are great, Greg and Steve have a series of cd's for early childhood in English and Spanish that are very high quality. Most teacher stores carry them.
In Spanish, I like the Cri Cri songs of old (yeah I've been teaching 26+ years in an early childhood bilingual classroom).
I'll look into some sites for music and post them here later.
