FUNKY KIDZ was created by Lauren and her 12 year old son. The album features 12 of New Orleans’ finest artists (Nevilles, The Radiators, George Porter Jr., Theresa Andersson and more)doing funked up covers of classic kids songs we all know and love like Zip a Dee Doo Dah, Yellow Submarine and the funkiest rendition of Hokey Pokey you ever heard. Listening to this CD with my daughter has been quite a treat.
I love the Hokey Pokey, I have been doing it with her since she was 6 months old. In her swimming class when she was six months old we would do it in the pool. Now she’s getting balance and learning how to pick her feet up. It’s just great dancing to this song. It’s so fun.
We also love You’ve got a friend in me. She bounces and sways as we sing together. My son, he bounces and squeals. I love it it’s so cute.
A portion of proceeds for CD sales goes toward fostering music education in New Orleans. Check out www.funkykidzmusic.com

I like how they say that it is designed for families to enjoy together. It is interesting musically for the more sophisticated ear, but still accessible to children.
I subscribe.
I like that it is made for the whole family (parents don’t have to suffer through it!).
Something unique? Ok, all the songs go back to the concept of New Orleans funk.

They have a cute video of a toddler dancing to their CD.
What I find unique is that the music is both kid and adult friendly!
I would love the chance to win, thanks.
It consists mainly of wonderful New Orleans artists, which IS my hometown. :]
Their blog is outdated and not working 🙁
I like that her sons — “Jake, 9 (assistant producer) and Aidan, 5, took a love to New Orleans funk and so the concept was born to make kid’s songs funky” — I think that’s really neat.
There is a New Orleans basis for the music.
Ingrid Lucia (who sings This Little Light of Mine on the CD) grew up in a traveling family band, gypsy style.
It was started because a mom of two was disappointed by the offerings of children’s music available. That is pretty cool that she took the initiative to change it!

They have taken classical children songs and them them funky. My grandchildren would enjoy this. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

The songs are meant to invoke happy memories of childhood for everyone, while exposing children to the funky, high-instrumentation sound that oozes out of the Crescent City. Sounds like so much fun, thanks!
Songs are concise, emphasize proper repetition and tracks emulate the ebb and flow of a child’s day
Her son Jake (9) is her assistant producer! 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
