Fun CD
This CD has such fun music. I get these songs stuck in my head during the day they are so catchy. :)

BUY THIS NOW!
Parents, prepare to have your lives changed! This is GREAT music that you and your kids will enjoy together. DZAF has created something that goes far beyond music that the kids will beg to hear and grown-ups can stand to play AGAIN in the mini-van. This is music that inspires music-making.

Since we "discovered" DZAF, my four year old spends her days singing, dancing, pretending she "is" Dan Zanes, pretending she's playing with Dan Zanes, and learning to play the piano and ukulele (yes, the DZ Flea edition!). She asked Santa for a harmonica. Just that. Is she learning catchy (ANNOYING) jingles about how to tie her shoes? No. Is she learning anything? Yes. Music is math, art, reading, writing, peace, love and happiness! She is learning that making music is bigger than the song; collaboration to create something good gives children a sense of inclusion, unity, curiosity, and goodwill that they carry with them when the song/dance party is over.

On a barely related note, if you have the chance, see DZAF in concert. The only thing better than hearing the music is experiencing the wild, all-ages folk show in person. Our recent concert experience was so incredible, we're driving 376 miles in March to see the band again!

Our faves from this CD are "Jump Up," "Rock Island Line," "Water for the Elephants" and, of course, "Wonder Wheel." Don't be surprised if you listen to "Rock Island Line" or "Wonder Wheel" after the kiddies are in bed. They're great songs. I hope your family will be as inspired by the work of this amazing band as mine has been.

Love it!!!!!
I love his music!!! I am going to buy another one of his cd. I listen to his music in my car with my children. Sometimes by myself!!! My 4 children love it more because I think they know I like it so much. I have 7 different kids cd in my player. Always go directely to this cd.

Dan Zanes Rocks
Dan Zanes is great! Malti is one of our favorites but how can you not like a rocking version of Hokey Pokey? Definitely recommend it- a must have!!!

Two weeks...
It took us two weeks to find out what our daughter was happily going around the house singing (3 at the time). And finally Sesame Street came on, and she said her song was on. It was 'Mailti' by Dan Zanes, and once that was
on my daughter just danced and sang away.

Since then we have embraced Dan's music into our family music circle. The lyrics are clean and catchy, and the rythm is simple enough for even a child to keep up with.
