Look no farther than Mister G’s eighth children’s album, “Mundo Verde/Green World” for a bilingual soundtrack to your 2018 Earth Day celebration. Circle April 22 on your calendar and use this date — and this rollicking album — to talk with your child about what your family does, and what more you can do to get out and enjoy nature and take care of “Pachamana/Mother Earth.” Mister G debuted the songs from the album at the National Climate March in Washington, D.C., and they are a joyful ice breaker for opening a dialogue about our planet and its innumerable gifts, from “Agua/Water,” to “Cuantos Peces/How Many Fish,” to “Las Abejas/The Bees.” The album is also an exuberant showcase of Latin American music styles (bomba, samba, reggae, and bossa nova) and the Spanish language; it features Santo Domingo-based merengue superstars 440 on “Gozar/Enjoy.” And the final track, “Las Estrellas/The Stars,” features Cuban-Mexican jazz legend Arturo O’Farrill on piano!
