Raffi is something of an icon in the world of children's music, and it's no wonder when you see his folksy, expressive style and his talent for inspiring young children. This concert video features Raffi and his guitar on a simple stage before an audience brimming with enthusiastic young faces. Raffi sings a wonderful mix of 18 classic and original songs, many from The Singable Songs Collection, while beaming audience members clap, stomp, gesture, jump, and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Several pieces are performed a cappella, and there are even solo segments on kazoo and "air trumpet." So what's the best thing about Raffi? You'll have to decide whether it's his uncanny appeal to children, the comical lyrics in his original songs, his simple yet expressive treatment of well-loved children's songs, or the fact that parents can listen repeatedly to his music without losing their sanity. Whatever your choice, be assured that this wholesome video will completely captivate your child for a full 45 minutes. (Ages 1-9) --Tami Horiuchi

Raffi is a Blessing. January 7, 2009
Nicole Sewell (Madison, WI)
We recently purchased Raffi's Concert for our 18 month old boy, after we rented it for a while and reluctantly had to return it. Elijah, our son, was completely thrilled with Raffi and is totally addicted now. Raffi is light-hearted and his songs are all so sweet. It is so refreshing not having to worry about what my son is watching on TV, he chooses Raffi over any TV program. We walk in the door and Eli will go straight to the TV and start pointing to where we keep the DVD and say "affi" "affi". It is precious and Raffi will last through the years...suitable for all kids. We love Raffi.
Great! August 1, 2007

These are very cute songs you can sing together! The children love the motions that go with the music. They will snap, stomp, clap on cue with Raffi!
Interactive and fun July 3, 2007

This DVD is great for children. When I was younger and used to babysit, the kids I watched used to love this concert on a VCR tape. We watched it so much that I grew to love it too. Now, I have a son of my own and I knew that the Raffi concert was something I wanted him to watch. We started watching this when he was only 4 or 5 months old and now at 12 months, he is totally in love with the music. He laughs, squeals, gets sleepy and is completely entertained. Though it was made in the 80's, it is timeless! I also love the other two concerts, but this one is the best.
Truly the gentlest man for children January 27, 2007

Raffi is the type of person who just wants every child in this world to be happy. He delights everyone with his infectious songs and warmth, no matter what the age. I never mind sitting down to watch with my toddlers because I actually LIKE the songs, just as much as they do. We also listen to the CDs which helps them know the words. This was made in the 80s so the audience members have clothes that are a bit dated, but it matters not at all. Your kids will love him. No cartoon images, and no sudden camera movements.
Gentle fun for young children January 15, 2007

We had this video as a VHS tape when my younger children were little and now I am buying the DVD for my grandchildren. Raffi is gentle, silly, and upbeat in a way that young children seem to be able to really relate to. It is fun to see the kids singing along and trying to do the motions to the songs. And it is "safe" music that doesn't make me want to gag after I've heard it for the 30th day in a row.
