Raffi On George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: INTERVIEW

Legendary kids' entertainer Raffi is in the red chair. The Washington Post once called Raffi's 'Baby Beluga' "the most popular children's song in the English-speaking world." And that's far from his only song. Over his long career, Raffi has entranced kids with his music and performances. And he also opened The Centre for Child Honouring on Salt Spring Island, BC back in 2010. The Centre advocates for social change and stresses the importance of the childhood years.

George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight airs Weeknights at 7 pm on CBC Television

I also remember when he came to Eugene to do a concert. I went with my mom. I was a lot younger then.

When I was a kid I had 3 VHS tapes, and I used to watch them over and over. The Raffi concert was one of them.

Raffi was a huge part of my childhood. I used to own 3 of his concerts on VHS. I also owned some cassette tapes and a cd collection of his music. Now that his 3 concerts are now on YouTube, it makes me feel like a kid again. I am considered to be a beluga grad. I am also friends with him on Facebook.
