Spanish resources - Basho and friends

Basho Mosko has multilingual (French, Spanish, Mandarin and English) educational songs for children. He has allowed me to publish his Youtube clips here. His website is http://www.bashoandfriends.com/ and if you want to you can purchase his Spanish language downloadable CD at www.cdbaby.com/cd/basho ($9.95 for the album of 10 songs, or 99c per each Mp3 download). He will also be donating a couple of cds to a giveaway later on. Stay tuned...
No need to describe his songs - you can watch them right here and judge for yourself. Just remember they are under copyright-no downloading illegally! Some of the songs have words and translations beneath them, and others have words in Spanish on-screen (you could transcribe them yourself).

Love these!! My kids learn SO much from music. Plus, we have been do Spanish during our calendar time each morning, so this is perfect. And I want so much to teach my kids more Spanish - I was thinking about Rosetta Stone, but this is FREE - all the better.
