About this product
Ever since NPR aired an excerpt of this 1976-77 school project, it's been selling like, well, cookies at a bake sale! Imagine a gym in western Ontario full of 60 children aged 9-12, singing the pop hits of the day and discovering inside themselves for the first time a love of pop music the joy and wonder of these kids is palpable! Then add in some Carl Orff-like percussion, and rudimentary bass and guitar, and the whole thing even takes on some avant-garde dimensions. Trust us, you've never heard God Only Knows; Space Oddity; Rhiannon; Wildfire or the Long and Winding Road sound like this!

The debut record from long time Dan Zane's and Friends band member Elena Moon Park is an all-ages album of folk and children's songs from East Asia rediscovered and reinterpreted for the 21st century family. Rabbit Days and Dumplings is a soulful, playful, and unique assortment of songs from China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Tibet updated and arranged in a collaborative and personal style by Park and Friends. Native languages are mixed with English, as traditional Asian and western folk and rock instruments join to create a modern sound with deep roots that are accessible, and inviting to one and all. Special guests include Dan Zane's, Wu Man, the Kronos Quartet, Ikue Mori, and members of Bang on a Can. Executive produced by Grammy winner Dan Zane's.
Vinyl LP pressing. Replicas of the two rare and highly sought 1976 & 1977 LPs that have captivated the world, inspired a VH-1 documentary, a feature -lm and broadway musical (School of Rock) and the soundtrack for Spike Jones' Where the Wild Things Are. The Langley Schools Music Project is a 60 voice chorus of rural school children from western Canada singing the songs of The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie and many more. Captured in the school gymnasium, the recordings were never meant for commercial but were pressed on LP for the students, family and friends.
