It’s Fair Trade Friday!

...And play it often. You’ll have no trouble when you download an album or buy a CD of traditional folk or dance music by fair trade farmers and artisans from around the world. It’s fun for kids to listen to and a great introduction to different kinds of music and rhythms they otherwise may not be exposed to.
