Chef Bisous are a husband and wife duo from Canada, and are relative newcomers to the family music scene. Their music serves to captivate, educate and inspire young minds through movement and dance. The kitchen is where the main action takes place; temporarily converting into an inclusive educational environment, where simple meal preparations provide copious opportunities for inclusivity and learning.
Their new album Tasty Tunes Volume 1, is an absolute delight, featuring twelve catchy songs guaranteed to appeal to children and parents alike. The album has considerable strength in depth, with each song providing its own unique appeal. Some of the standouts include the delightfully descriptive "Planets," the quirky "Mix It Up Song," and the somewhat charming "Rainbow Song", where the colours of the rainbow are serenaded by a lively acoustic guitar.
My absolute favourite song from this eclectic selection is 'Dinosaur Song', which features a wonderful acoustic vibe throughout. Here a variety of dinosaurs are described in some detail, providing further opportunities for interactive movement. The blend of musicality is superb, where bass, acoustic guitar, and accordion, compete for space in this wonderful singalong. Where the children are invited to 'let me hear you roar'.
Their YouTube channel also deserves a mention, with the band having uploaded a series of compelling videos, and succeeded in creating a visual sound track to accompany the numerous educational possibilities on display. With each video providing further learning opportunities, whether through maths, colours, or the planets there's something here for everyone.
All in all a terrific new act, with tremendous potential, who have already hit the ground running. They have managed to combine their culinary sills and their musical dexterity, to create a brand that is truly unique. A new generation has arrived in town, so watch out Wiggles, Chef Bisous are coming your way.
Chef Bisous - come taste the band.
