The3 Washington Post once referred to Raffi as “the most popular children’s singer in the English-speaking world.”
And generations of fans would probably agree.
Raffi has been entertaining youngsters since the 1970s, when he turned his folk singing ambition to address a younger audience, inspired by his wife, a kindergarten teacher.
In 1998 Raffi published his autobiography, called The Life of a Children’s Troubadour. And that’s when I had a few minutes with him.,
So here now, from 1998. Raffi.
Raffi will be 76 in July. He still performs publicly, and his most recent album is “Penny Penguin” released earlier this year.
