Relive the Music and Fun That Shaped Your Childhood!

Paul Mercs Concerts is pleased to present �Raffi #belugagrads Concert�. This concert date follows a string of successful family shows in both Canada and the U.S.

Raffi is a singer, writer, producer, author, lecturer, and tireless advocate for children. He is best known for his work as a children�s entertainer whose string of gold and platinum-selling recordings in North America includes his classic song, �Baby Beluga�. Once called �the most popular children�s singer in the English-speaking world� (Washington Post) and �Canada�s all time children�s champion� (Toronto Star), Raffi is also a recipient of the Order of Canada and the United Nations� Earth Achievement Award. His commitment to honouring his young fans changed society�s outlook on music made for children.

�I�m delighted to be singing for children and their families again,� says Raffi.

In 2010, Raffi founded The Centre for Child Honouring on Salt Spring Island, BC. With the motto �Respecting Earth & Child,� the Centre is at the heart of a global movement that views honouring children as the best way to create sustainable, peacemaking societies.

Recently, Raffi published a new book for adults, Lightweb Darkweb, about the critical need to reform social media, especially for young users. As well, he co-founded the Red Hood Project, a grassroots movement for consumer protection for children online.

On November 12, Universal Music Canada will release Fun Food Songs, a collection of fifteen playful songs all about food. The compilation, which draws from Raffi�s quintessential children�s albums, features such beloved classics as �Peanut Butter Sandwich�, �Bananaphone�, and �Going On A Picnic�, as well as traditional tunes like �Down By The Bay� and �Day O�.

The $65.00 VIP tickets will include an opportunity to meet Raffi in person after the show. Proceeds benefit The Centre for Child Honouring.

A Raffi concert is best suited for children old enough to talk, sing or clap along. While Raffi's music is enjoyed by babies at home, the live music experience is much louder and very different than hearing the recorded songs at home. While babies are welcome, they may not enjoy a loud concert singalong.
