Oakland, CA
(October 23, 2013)---Children today face obstacles and challenges unlike any
past generations have seen before – and often more difficult. The
pressure on them to make the world a better place is high, so providing them
with positive role models to emanate, constructive lessons to learn from and
valuable tools to utilize is more important than ever. But so is having fun and
valuing the joy of music and the power of the imagination. Luckily, Pacha’s Pajamas
is here!
The two-CD set Pacha’s Pajamas: A Story
Written by Nature Vol. 1 & 2, available November 5, 2013 for
a suggested retail price of $19.99, digital download $15.99, and individual
songs on iTunes for $1.29, is inspired by the book by Aaron Ableman and
produced by a company called BALANCE.
It follows the adventures of Pacha, a little girl whose magical pajamas whisk
her away every night to imaginary worlds where she discovers the power to make
a difference in the world and within herself.
One night while sleeping
Pacha dreams that the animals and plants on her new pajamas come alive.
Disguised as a small gorilla, she comes upon an unlikely group of creatures
feeling sad about the world. Nature unites to tell its captivating story at a
global festival where species have come together to bring balance to the
planet. Fun-filled acts include an insect band called The Beetles, a
black-eyed pea rapping for a better world and a beaver named Just-in-Time. At
the end of the show, Pacha shares an important message for all nature and
humanity.
Filled with pop
references and lots of humor (“electric eels went on strike”),
storytelling, songs and dance, Pacha’s Pajamas features 28 tracks by 70 artists
spanning four generations, and inspires children of all ages to better
understand themselves, recognize their natural talents and make a positive
impact in the world.
“Pacha’s Pajamas
utilizes the core languages of popular culture – storytelling, music and
dance – to support the healthy development of today’s kids,”
says Ableman. “The story and songs are not only magical and fun,
but also address important topics like staying healthy, ecological
sustainability and the power of imagination and dreams.”
Pacha’s Pajamas Vol. 1 had a
limited release last year for award consideration only and won the
People’s Choice for Best Children’s Music in the 12th
Annual Independent Music Awards and a Parents’ Choice Recommendation.
Featured celebrity artists on the two-CD set include
Mos Def, Cheech Marin, Les Nubians, Talib Kweli, Majora Carter, Lester
Chambers, the Agape Youth Choir and Lyrics Born. The album also includes rising
kid stars Bentley Green (9 million+ YouTube hits), Lil Jaxe, Ta’kaiya
Blaney, Amanda Raya, Felecity, Milo McFly, Jaheem, MC Fireworks and Devyn
Tyson. Luminaries Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org; Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith,

Spiritual
Center;
and 12 year old environmental leader Avalon Theisen, star of the The Autism
Channel's new series Nature Tracks with
Avalon, are also featured.
