Watch one of the gorilla videos that inspired my kids song, “BELLA THE GORILLA”.
Hello Fans and Primate Lovers!
This is one of the several gorilla videos I watched while I was composing my animal song, “Bella the Gorilla”. Since I had never met a gorilla in the wild, I felt it was important to understand as much as possible about these remarkable primates to help me write an educational song about them. This video by BBC portrays the family life of gorillas and made their lives more real for me. My song “Bella the Gorilla” can be heard on our CD “EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED and Other Animal Songs for Kids”. Watching this video and listening to this song today made me want to move like a gorilla!
With appreciation to all who work so hard to study and protect the Mountain and Congo Gorilla of Africa,
