L'alphabet des animaux

Description

26 playful and educational songs to discover new words by following the letters of the alphabet. Each nursery rhyme revolves around an animal, with at least one word in each line beginning with the same letter as that of the animal. Performed by Natasha St-Pier on the 26 tracks, in duet on 6 of them, she crosses paths with sure bets of French variety (Florent Mothe, Les Stentors) but also with revelations (Julien Dassin, the group Zut and also MB14 (also doing the sound effects on all the tracks). If the lyrics are written in a very playful spirit, some convey a deep and touching message (about the environment, pollution or the mistreatment inflicted on animals...). Stories that the young audience will undoubtedly be very sensitive to. And without any heavy-handed moralizing that would spoil the fun because, above all, we are here to be entertained! On the musical side, the melodies, far from being regressive, are easy to remember, childlike but never childish. And each song has its own style (variety, jazz, rock...), which helps awaken children to different moods and melodic colors. Natasha’s role as a mother greatly inspired her for this album, which should reconcile adults with children’s music.
