'Baby beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free.' Here's an adorable new version of Raffi_RC's timeless children's song, with YoYo_Ma joining in on cello. | CBCMusic
'Baby Beluga' was the title track of Raffi's 6th album, released in 1980.
Canadian songwriter and children's entertainer Raffi is marking the 40th anniversary of his perennially popular "Baby Beluga" with a new version of the bouncy song about a little white whale. He has enlisted cellist Yo-Yo Ma to accompany him in a virtual performance. Pay special attention to the way Ma imitates whale song during the transition to Raffi's newly coined verse, written especially for adults — he calls them "beluga grads" — who remember the song from their youth.
"Grown-up beluga, sing a song of peace," he enjoins them. "Sing a song of diversity, child-honouring, social justice, climate action. We need to hear you."
