Fiesta Mexicana Sones de México Ensemble (CD Baby)
This all-acoustic, two-disc set (one in English, one in Spanish) from the Chicago-based folk group introduces kids to traditional Mexican song and dance with the help of some well-known guest artists, including Dan Zanes and Ella Jenkins. Bright, lively tracks are intermingled with brief explanations of the instruments, making this fiesta a great opportunity to familiarize little ones with Mexican culture. —Lily Hansen
