A natural, cultural approach

The Level One Songs CD (remember it is automatically included with the Blackline CD) features a duet with Charo y Lee for each unit. There is also a karaoke version of each song if your students would like to give it a go. Finally there is a humorous set of songs called "Failed auditions at La Cucaracha Idol." Lousy songs I tried to sing myself ;-)


Erik Bryan provides the voice of Lee and Lynette Martínez the voice of Charo. I composed and performed the music myself.

The Level Two Songs CD features more duets with the exception of Café, when I put Margarita in the mix. That particular song didn't quite turn out as I had hoped pero así es la vida. I was trying to get Margarita to turn Lee's attention away from Charo but it got a bit muddled. Once again Erik Bryan (a true Broadway singer who doesn't speak Spanish) performs the voice of Lee, Lynette Martínez is Charo and Sarai López is Margarita. Dan Bell plays trumpet on Tienda de ropa and on Fiesta. The disc has 6 bonus tracks of folk songs featuring the voice of Bryce Hedstrom with some back-up vocals by Lynette Martínez.
