Raffi is in concert at the Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis on Saturday, April 7th at 1:00pm, and I have 2 tickets to give away to one lucky winner!
I loved listening to Raffi as a kid, especially “Baby Beluga” and “Apples and Bananas.” I think it’s fantastic that he still performs (now at 70 years old)!
About Raffi
Raffi is a singer, songwriter, producer, author, lecturer, and tireless advocate for children.

He has published three books for adults and holds four honorary degrees.

Raffi’s work for children
Raffi has never advertised to children or made any commercial endorsements aimed at kids. His commitment to treating his young fans with respect changed society’s outlook on music made for children. His latest albums (on Rounder Records) include Owl Singalong and Best of Raffi, and he plans a new album release this summer.
“I love singing with and for children and families,” says Raffi. “In 2018, I look forward to hearing more ‘Beluga Grads’ and their kids singing favorites like “Baby Beluga,” “Down By The Bay,” “Bananaphone!” plus more from my recent Best of Raffi album.”
In 2010, Raffi founded the non-profit Centre for Child Honouring. With the motto “Respecting Earth & Child,” the Centre is at the heart of a global movement that views honoring children as the best way to create sustainable, peacemaking societies. For more about Raffi or the Centre, visit www.raffinews.com or www.childhonouring.org.

Raffi has dozens of CDs, books and DVDs available including his CD “The Best of Raffi.”
