    Shake your sillies out with Raffi


    He's been called the most popular children's singer in the
    English-speaking world (theWashington Post), and deservedly so. He's
    also a songwriter, music producer, author, ecology advocate, lecturer,
    and tireless advocate for children.

    Named after the Armenian poet, Raffi has a string of gold and
    platinum-selling recordings in North America including his classic
    song, "Baby Beluga." Other popular songs by Raffi are Shake My Sillies
    Out, Brush Your Teeth, Bananaphone, Day-O and Down by the Bay.

    Raffi believes that children should not be directly marketed to. He
    has refused offers for commercial television shows and other
    commercial endorsements. He also turned down a Hollywood offer to make
    a film based on "Baby Beluga" since it would involve direct
    advertising to children. His commitment to treating his young fans
    with respect changed society's outlook on music made for children.
    He's been referred to as "Canada's all time children's champion" and
    is a recipient of the Order of Canada as well as the United Nations'
    Earth Achievement Award. Raffifounded the Centre for Child Honouring
    (childhonouring.org) which views early childhood as the gateway to
    humane being.

    Love Bug, Raffi's first new kids CD in 12 years is a Parents' Choice
    GOLD Award winner. Raffiwill perform at TCU Place on Sunday, March 29
    at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $27.50 to $65 (plus charges) available
    through TCU Box Office, tcutickets.ca, tcuplace.com or by calling
    306.975.7799.
