Recognized for more than twenty-three years by those in the know for his intelligent, compelling music for children, Parents' Choice®, NAPPA, and ASCAP award-winning musician Vincent Nunes is excited to share his seventh album, Smart Songs for Active Children, with families around the world.
Often compared to kids' music legends such as Raffi, Vincent Nunes has, since 1991, quietly forged a musical path that reflects his commitment to early childhood learning and deep respect for children's innate intelligence. Keeping his focus on the children, Vincent Nunes has not actively promoted his musical work, yet praise has rolled in from media outlets such as South Forida Parenting, which declared, "For parents and kids up to age 7 or so who never heard of Vincent, you're missing something." Wrote Minnesota Parent, "It's refreshing to listen to a children's recording artist who isn't dashing out a new release every year or two -- the extra time and care come through in the quality and variety of the music." One of Vincent Nunes' proudest roles is that of father to two very accomplished daughters, one of whom is YouTube sensation and "Internet darling" Julia Nunes. Julia, who recently appeared on the Conan O'Brien Show, took time from an active touring schedule to sing with her dad on Smart Songs for Active Children. "Washboard Dave" Paprocki, a street busker, adds his wonderful, quirky rhythms to half the album's tracks, playing tin can, wooden shoe, soda bottle, bundt pan, and vintage washboard. Percussionist Emmet Basha enhanced his standard drum set with udu, jembe, conga, and other African drums to add an international sound. Vincent Nunes not only sings on Smart Songs for Active Children, he also plays piano, B-3 organ, bass, acoustic guitar, and accordion, an instrument he found to be "far more difficult than I imagined!"Smart Songs for Active Children is available for purchase via the online store at http://www.vincentnunes.com
