![]() If we had to be stuck with one song to sing to our kids, we’re happy it’s this one. In other words, he dedicates it to all of us. He dedicates the second half of the song to them. In the new video, about halfway through, Raffi mentions that in the 40 years since the song’s release, there have been millions of “Beluga Grads” who ended up singing “Baby Beluga” to their own kids. Raffi’s music is there for kids in quarantine, it’s there for kids who aren’t sure if they like apples or bananas, and, most of all, it’s there for parents. He’s also had an amazing partnership with Greta Thunberg, and he’s even written a song in her honor. Today, he still fights injustice, racism, and fascism through his thoughtful and wonderful music. Raffi began his music career as a protest singer, modeling himself on Woody Guthrie. Canadian-born and of Armenian descent, his success in the children’s music industry is a happy story that continues to inspire. Raffi Cavoukian also continues to be a fantastic idol for children and parents. Baby Beluga is also, thankfully, genderless, meaning it’s easy to get behind this song without confusing your kid. Only a complete monster (or someone who doesn’t have kids, which is fine, btw) would hate this video, a celebration of a sea animal that is loved by its parents. ![]()
