Music Minute: Mister G - Mundo Verde/Green World

I recently had a chance to review songs from Mister G's new album - Mundo Verde/Green Earth. The songs are fun for Spanish and English listeners, bringing a bilingual and cross-cultural message of care for the planet.

My kids are learning a little bit of Spanish, so they were able to pick up some of the Spanish words, and it helped to know what they were singing about because of the English part. The songs have a definite Latin influence, with different Latin rhythms and feel - and a little bit of Caribbean reggae as well. The songs are written to speak to people of all ages, especially young listeners. Even though it's a kids album, it's upbeat and energetic, and sure to be enjoyed by adults as well.

Upcoming performances:

Sept. 27 - Moms Clean Air Force Concert, Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

Oct. 1 - Kids Really Rock Festival, Boston, MA

Oct. 22 - Coolidge Corner Theatre, Brookline, MA

Oct. 29 - Academy of Music Theatre, Northampton, MA

Nov. 4 - The ArtsCenter, Carrboro, NC

Dec. 2 - The Center for Arts in Natick, Natick, MA

Dec. 10 - The Davis Academy, Atlanta, GA

Dec. 17 - The Jewish Museum, NYC

Latin GRAMMY Award winner Mister G was awarded the first songwriting scholarship in the history of Berklee College of Music. Mister G (aka Ben Gundersheimer) tours internationally headlining major venues such as Austin City Limits, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Central Park SummerStage (New York City), Getty Museum (Los Angeles), Chicago Botanic Garden, The National Zoo (Washington, DC), The Hard Rock Cafe (Philadelphia), and Parque Chapultepec (Mexico City). His 2017 release, Mundo Verde/Green World, is a collection of environmental-themed songs which were debuted at his concert during the National Climate Rally in Washington, DC. A former teacher with a Masters of Education, Mister G recently signed a multi-book deal with Penguin Random House to turn several of his songs into illustrated children’s picture books. Inspired by his students (who originally dubbed him ‘Mister G’), he began writing the songs that would comprise his debut family album Pizza for Breakfast.
