Celebrate the Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. Through Song

By Julie Yeros

Add a musical note to your celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. with I Have a Dream, a multicultural children’s music CD by award-winning performer DARIA.

The album is framed around the civil rights leader’s message of looking to peoples’ hearts and not to the external trappings of race, religion, or language.

Disclosure: We received a complimentary copy of this CD for review purposes; however, all opinions are our own.

The award-winning CD features the popular “I Have A Dream” song celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and legacy. His vision for a world of respect and dignity for all people is a beautiful message to be shared all year long.

Other songs included on the album are

Beautiful Rainbow World – celebrating humanity’s collective beauty

The Spirit Song – speaking about knowing and following your inner spirit

For All The World’s Children – sharing Daria’s own “wishes and hopes for every little being that gets to visit this planet.”

Songs in Zulu, Hebrew, Spanish, and more languages are featured, along with traditional instruments such as authentic bone and shell rattles (Native American) and frame drums (Middle Eastern).

I Have a Dream was given both a Nappa Parenting Honor award and a Best of The Children’s Music Web award.

Songs from this album are also currently being used around the world in a “Teaching Tolerance” curriculum in South Africa and a “Respecting Others” curriculum in Australia.

Sing along, dance, and CELEBRATE Martin Luther King’s message of love, acceptance, and inclusion.
