so far my new album contains songs on the power of love, a maple tree, rainy days, waking up, and how unique each of us is. 🎵 features vocals by the trio Good Lovelies. cello and violin, uke and guitar, piano and flute. more to come.🌟 #newalbum #belugagrads
This Canadian is so happy. Secured 4 VIP tickets to go see Raffi in Vancouver in November. Making childhood dreams come true for some 80’s babies and our kids too.
#belugagrads special request ☺️ from my cousin a children’s Early Educator and a number one fan.

🎸 hmm, will I work this into a fun instrumental for the new album now underway? we’ll see! 🎻 #belugagrads

we’re devoted to advancing #ChildHonouring as a universal ethic to be lived in locally wise ways. #belugagrads
🌟 recording again!
during two days at my home, with Luna as studio dawg, my longtime recording engineer and I got 5 new songs done. ☑️
🎸 very happy with the results. my album binder has printed lyrics, album song/instrument chart that helps plan the arrangements. great fun! #belugagrads
Raffi knows more than a little about regime change as the son of Christian parents who fled the Armenian genocide, settled in Egypt, on to Jerusalem and Syria before settling in Canada. His political instincts are well honed. If anyone deserves to go viral, @raffic.bsky.social does!

Congratulations! My kids are older now but we fired up "Baby Beluga" in the car just the other day for a singalong. #belugagrads 4 eva

Hard to not think of @raffic.bsky.social while prepping my snack today #belugagrads
with Sue Passmore of the Good Lovelies at the Gala Dinner for the Juno awards in Vancouver.. we won! 🌟 #PennyPenguin album is my 1st Juno since Bananaphone (1994) and the Good Lovelies’ 4th—thanks to Sue, Caroline Marie Brooks and Kerri Ough, to engineers Ken Burke and Chris Stringer. 🎉 #belugagrads
how adorable is this? a happy group of #belugagrads and family sporting 🐳 t-shirts and smiles! as we near the 50th anniversary of my Singable Songs album, many flashbacks, events and music that have brightly lit a long career. and later this month, perhaps a Juno award for my Penny Penguin album. 🥰
when Raffi asks me to do something, I do it #belugagrads
RESISTANCE
week 7 ⛔️ I’ll call the Kremlin, have a chat❗️
my #bananaphone keeps ringing. people are furious at 🇷🇺 agent 🍊.
#belugagrads know I wrote “Resisto Dancing” in 2006 — in a hip hope genre!
I’m a 🇨🇦 support person. YOU in 🇺🇸 have the daily task of standing up to tyranny!
