to hear songs from the CD MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY

Just one glance at the cover announces: MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY is not your typical children's fare!

Rather, MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY  is the product of Robbi K's belief that children on whom she has focused her musical gifts for the past 15 years -- appreciate music that entertains, inspires and connects with their life experiences, be they big or small.

Ramping up the CD's quality is Robbi's collaboration with a wide range of peers whom she's befriended while performing with such legendary artists as Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, Jewel, Harry Belafonte and others.  With husband Bakithi Kumalo on board as Executive Producer, MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY, continues to convey Robbi K's love of world music and culture.

The songs on this CD are for all ages and stages!  ”Happy" is a fun, freeing  song that encourages folks to express their emotions, whether glad or mad.   Violinist Eileen Ivers adds her warm tones to "The Peace Song", a song Robbi sings about peace on earth and within. The iconic folk hero, John Henry, drives his steel into the 21st century via Robbi’s urgently relevant rendition of the familiar ballad, backed up by the super-funky bass lines of her husband, Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon’s favorite bass player).

Robbi K goes on record to remind everyone that the thing that makes our schools work is the heartfelt bond between students and their teachers in “I Love My Teacher,” a gospel-flavored anthem of gratitude, love, and joy ... featuring special guest Jon "Bowzer" Bauman of Sha Na Na!

The CD's title tune "Music Makes Me Happy," a rollicking Cajun number, features blues legend Guy Davis, son of Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, as well as the rocking children's artist Brady Rymer.

Jazz saxophonist Hayes Greenfield blows a fierce solo while youthful stars, with credits stretching from Sesame Street to Broadway - - shine in a full-voiced chorus on "Eating Some Pizza."
