The joyful music by gifted composer Paul Castle uses an inventive combination of rhythm, words and sound effects to encourage children to interact. Music written for children can sometimes be bland and formulaic but the Baba songs are original, beautifully written and arranged compositions, expertly performed.  The keynote of the series is World Music, embracing rhythms and themes from many cultures.

The Babas LOVE music!  It helps them express how they feel. A little downcast one day Baba Bear sings a slow ballad, but a few funny antics from Baba Monkey soon lighten his mood. Before we know it he is a “Baba Bear without a care as he boogies to the Latin sound of “The Froggy Hop”. Whenever the music starts up, the Babas ‘shimmy-shake’ and ‘wriggle-dance’ with gusto.  From Samba to Polka, from Reggae to Irish Jig - the Babas delight in all kinds of music from around

the world.  Many of the songs have accompanying easy-to-follow actions.

Here are just a few!
