CANADIAN KIDS CHOIR POTENTIAL NOVELTY HIT?
CANADIAN KIDS CHOIR POTENTIAL NOVELTY HIT?
LANGLEY, B.C. (Wireless Flash) A 60-voice childrens choir from Langley, British Columbia, is the latest fave of musicians like David Bowie. Back in 1976-77, the Langley Schools Music Project, a choir of kids between ages 9 and 12, recorded 21 songs for an album for their parents and teachers. The record was forgotten until earlier this year when New Jersey-based producer Irwin Chusid decided to release the kids campfire rock on a new CD, The Langley Schools Music Project. Chusid claims the Langley kids have an innocence that brings people to tears, while others describe the music as pre-teens sing- shouting popular songs backed by xylophone. However, David Bowie says he likes the sound and says the childrens version of Space Oddity is a piece of art he never could have conceived, ...even with half of Columbias finest export products in me.
