Get ready for a musical journey around the globe!

Sing, dance, and gather clues as you explore folk songs from Korea, Estonia, Spain, Benin, India, France, China, and beyond. Through rhythms, songs, and different languages, you’ll discover the sounds of the world and work together to solve a Mystery Sound.

Presented by 4x Juno-nominated Ginalina on guitar, North Benin’s Yoro Noukoussi on djembe, donga (talking drum) and kokomba (conga), and Shanghai Conservatory of Music trained Sarah Yusha Tan on the guzheng (ancient Chinese zither), Sing the World! will captivate audiences young and old. Every show presents a featured guest with a unique cultural song to share!

Plus, families and teachers can access a special digital resource package to dive even deeper into the fun! Watch the video below.

Préparez-vous pour un voyage musical à travers le monde! Chantez, dansez et recueillez des indices en explorant des chansons folkloriques venant de Corée, d’Estonie, d’Espagne, du Bénin, d’Inde, de France, de Chine et d’ailleurs. À travers le rythme, les chansons et les différentes langues, vous découvrirez les sons du monde et travaillerez ensemble pour résoudre le Son Mystérieux.

Présenté par Ginalina, nominée 4 fois aux Juno, à la guitare, avec Yoro Noukoussi venant du Bénin du Nord au djembe, donga (tambour parlant) et au kokomba (conga), et la lauréate Sarah Yusha Tanau guzheng (cithare chinoise ancienne), Chantez le monde! saura captiver petits et grands.  Chaque spectacle présente aussi un invité vedette avec une chanson culturelle unique à partager!

Show highlights

Rave Reviews

Ginalina went to touching lengths to create an engaging and delightful concert to uplift any spirit. Guitar, ukulele, story, and accordion made this show richly musical in her signature down-to-earth style! Also such a treat to present Mandarin and French songs for our audience.

Whistler International Children’s Festival 

Our favourite anthem-maker! Her songs inspire every child to dream, and every adult to be a champion that kids need.

Starlingkids Children’s Festival 

It opens the doors for other people to explore their own identities and to appreciate other people’s backgrounds and heritage through music.
