Raffi

STG presents Raffi at the Moore Theatre in Seattle on Saturday, October 27, 2012. $55.00 ticket includes an opportunity to meet Raffi in person after the show. Proceeds benefit the Centre for Child Honouring.

Millions know Raffi for his work as a children’s entertainer whose string of gold and platinum-selling recordings in North America includes his classic “Baby Beluga” song with its beloved melody and lyrics. But a very interesting piece of Raffi’s story is not as well known: Raffi’s pioneering commitment to honouring his young fans changed the way we came to view music made for children. Founding his own record label, Troubadour, then folk musician Raffi set out on a path that rescued children’s recordings from bargain bin pricing and sub-par production values.
