Introducing - IK CHOTA BACHA & OTHER SIKH NURSERY RHYMES ~ Book and Sing-Along CD Set
Kikli and Ujjaldidar Singh Memorial Foundation (USMF) proudly introduce their first book and CD, "Ik Chota Bacha & Other Sikh Nursery Rhymes". This CD/Book set contains 10 kavitas that are set to the tune of popular western sing-along nursery rhymes.
Song titles include, Chamkeela Chota Taara Hai, set to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Sikhi Meri Jaan Hai, set to "Yankee doodle…", Chote Bache Sach Bole, and Sach Kahinaa. Each of the ten Punjabi poems carries a unique message that aims to share important aspects of Sikh ideology with younger generations.
The children of USMF bring these Punjabi poems to life by singing them in their spectacular voices to the tune of popular nursery rhymes. The creative author of these kavitas is Jagdeep Singh, and Arshveen Gadhok who captures the spirit of each poem through her colorful and vivid illustrations.
The book and CD are the result of a collaboration between Ujjaldidar Singh Memorial Foundation and Kikli, two organizations committed to the education of Sikh children in Sikh values and Punjabi culture. According to Jagdeep Singh, author of the nursery rhymes, the kavitas were inspired by the long-standing traditions of music and learning in Sikhi.
According to Harliv Kaur, owner of Kikli, the book also reflects the traditions of community and collaboration. "It really just goes to show how much a group of people can accomplish when they put their skills together. Our community is so talented, and there's nothing we can't do when we work together."
This book and CD set contain:
- 10 kavitas about important Sikh values sung in simple Punjabi to the tune of popular nursery rhymes.
- The beautiful language of the kavitas is accompanied with amazing music to create an extraordinary mix of upbeat songs.
- Due to the repetition of verses within the kavitas, children and adults quickly learn the lyrics and find themselves singing or humming the kavitas.
