Raffi and Mr. Rogers, together, and the world melts in love.
@@MightyTiki My comment isn't a comparison of either. It's an acknowledgement of the power that their kindness radiates to lives young and old. We need more kindness in this world.
@@buffstuf2 Put Red Grammer in there too! If you haven't heard of him, look him up. Another amazing children's artist whose unconditional love for all children and all humanity is at the heart of every song he writes/sings. Highly recommended!
If only
“Shorter” fan base?
I’m 36 and I can still sing along to every one of these tunes, son. Raffi’s undeniable rock star status transcends age
Exactly
Deep respect for him, he never sold out. He did what he did because he loved it, and he loved us the children of the world. Love you Raffi
Im pregnant with my first, and my baby will be raised on Raffi just like i was 😘💕
That's so sweet. That's exactly what I'm doing with my now 2 year old son! He's a big fan
Baby Beluga makes me happy every time I hear it.
Raffi was my childhood and waa basically the one thing that got me through when my parents would fight. I'd head to my room and shut the door and just listen to his cassette tapes. Eventually my parents seperated and my dad left my mom and my mom gave me up to my aunt. I still listen to it today even though I'm 24 years old.
I remember Raffi I remember seeing him perform in concert 1994
I'll never forget back in the early 80s my mother took my brother and I to a church that Raffi did a concert. A Tornado alert came on and everyone moved to the basement. Raffi entertained us all as the sirens rang and all of us remained calm.
Raffi said he wanted to be like James Taylor. Well, I believe he is the James Taylor of children’s music. I love him! I saw him in concert last year as a beluga grad. It was awesome! As a music teacher now, I love using his songs in my classroom and love his messages for the advocacy of children’s justice as well as justice for all humans.
I would also suggest "Evan and Vanessa". A young couple who entertain young children in English and Spanish.Just google them. You will love what they do.
The More We Get Together how much we need that now
Millions will mourn the day Raffi leaves the planet. What a blessing he is to so many hearts! Such a big, sweet, loving soul!
I don't even want to think about that!
Raffi is a beautiful soul. "The More We Get Together" is my all-time favorite song of his.
I’m pregnant and I can’t wait to play raffi for our baby and sing the songs together❣️
I am a retired teacher of children with special needs, and I can say that Raffi's songs resonate with ALL children, of any age, any language, any ability level-as well as with their teachers!!(me, particularly!!) We all love the good will Raffi makes us feel!!❤
I am 25 and my son is 2. Every night he watches "Raffi on Broadway", the video on UA-cam and he sings along and dances. We love Raffi! I listened to him along with my sisters and brother our entire childhood!
I love this man! Beautiful memories of kindergarten and 1st grade. He is everything I wish I was as a parent and educator. When I say a so g of his is my jam, I am being serious!
Raffi and Sharon Lois and bram And fred Penner are great performers
I'm a Beluga Grad! I pretty much wore out all my Raffi audio cassettes (remember those?) when I was growing up in the 1990s. Raffi, in fact, inspired me to play the guitar.
Saw this interview and loved it. Loved seeing the concert footage of him performing.............
Proud of you Raffi. Not just for being Armenian but for providing the opportunity to allow my kids enjoy your music while growing up.
Beautiful memories of raising my son. Raffi has such a soft and soothing voice.♥️♥️🎶 🎶♥️♥️🎶
If you'd like a recommendation for another children's singer-songwriter with a great singing voice and loving messages, I highly encourage you listen to Red Grammer. Anybody heard of him besides me?
@@alika207 I would also suggest " Evan ans Vanessa" who entertain children in English and Spanish. A young couple with great talent.
I raised my son on Raffi! I knew the songs by heart!💕 So nostalgic!
Omg..what an awesome story! Raffi is amazing still.
Playing Raffi for my grandson just like I did for my daughter's. He's mesmerized.
👏🏻👏🏻👩🏻🧑🙏🙏 Oh the precious memories of radiating my children. now in their..30’s.... 👵🏻 time is so fleeting and precious. You can’t teach that enough..... LIVE....LOVE...FORGIVE...👵🏻🙏👩🏻🧑🙏
Baby shark is today’s version of baby beluga but obviously baby Beluga is better
When my nephew was little, he used to sing the chorus of Baby Beluga, emphasizing the -LU- in beluga. Still makes me smile to this day, 33 yrs later.
Raffi is a true humanitarian treasure.
We love Raffi!
Played him for my daughter many moons ago!
Raffi is wonderful for childrens self esteem
Raffi is the best. He seems like such a calm and awesome guy. :) :D
He's super humble as well, working for over 40 years to keep greedy commercialism away from his works despite numerous lucrative opportunities
I remember listening to Raffi's music all the time when I was in preschool!
Omg!
The intervieweers daughter melted my heart!
I love Raffi! My parents took my brother and I to see him in concert everytime he came to town. Baby Beluga is my favorite song and I sang it when they interviewed my family on the news when I was 5. I thought I was a celebrity!
Need to see footage of that
RAFFI is my jam! WHAT A beautiful human being..❤❤❤❤
What an incredible story
I tweet and Instagram with Raffi and he's so sweet and nice I grew up watching Raffi in the Raffi and the sunshine band
My sister and I grew up on this guy and I would play this for my kids
This guy is worthy of a biopic similar to “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”. The problem is finding an actor who can do his singing style and can give the essence of who he is rather than an exact copy.
This is the only Raffi video which has comments enabled, all the uploads of those timeless concerts are non-interactive, something to do with youtube's new rules for kids' videos. A real shame, as parents like to share thoughts too. Just wanted to say we are a German couple with a 2-year old, and had never heard of Raffi but discovered a picture of him on an old Wheels On The Bus book we found second-hand: we were curious what a picture of a bearded bloke was doing on a kids' book and ended up finding that classic concert online: since then our boy has been hooked! He's constantly requesting Raffi's musik, with his big favourites being Wheels, Mr Sun & Five Little Ducks. We've managed to find some Raffi CD's too...it's resulted in not-unpleasant regular earworms for us and much pleasure for our lad, so thanks Raffi!
ps - we're so glad to see from this video that you're still active, hope you get to do concerts again soon once the pandemic calms down...maybe even come to Europe haha
Raffi did an album before singable songs for the very young he had 2 albums only for adults good luck boy and adult entertainment
"the master of work" Charlie Waffles
I love Raffi.
Baby beluga, could be a rock song!
I named my cat after him.
Raffi just liked my tweet I heard from a fan of his on Twitter that he's having a tour in Ontario in October of this year
I have one of his cds in my collection that's from 1976 the year i was born, its from shoreline records as well as Rounder Records. I had to look him up to make sure if it was what i was thinking 🤔 lol and yep he the folk singer i was thinking about. Its recorded in Canada its his first debut album for young kids. I found it at goodwill store 4 years ago with a stack of cds in one box that just came in to their store, like 20 cds. Some lady suggested for hin in the mid 70s to do a cd for young kids that don't do to much of so he was ok I'll try it and record some song for an album. The rest is history lol.
What a great interview!! Well done.
❤❤❤
I always remember loving the applesand bananas song haha
Gracias Raffi eres parte de los mejores recuerdos de la infancia de mis hijos en Canadá ...no hay Navidades en las cuales no estés presente en las calurosas noches entre Pascuas y Años Nuevos en Chile en Sudamérica. Tu fan mas absoluta ♥🎇🎆🎄
