How many languages can you sing in? These kids sing in at least three: Calderash, Sinti, and German. They live in Germany. Calderash and Sinti are both Romani languages they speak at home.
They recorded songs in their home languages to put on a bilingual CD of Bible stories. Their songs split the Sinti version of the Bible stories from the Calderash version.
The tall girl in the middle is the one who inspired all of this. Her mom started reading her Bible stories at bedtime. In German. When she was about the age of the short girl, she asked her mom for a Bible stories in
her own language.
Soon there will be a tuneful bilingual CD to go along with the colorful bilingual Bible story book. Keith's little assistant will be able to hear herself singing those stories in her own language. Or maybe I should say
her own languages?
