Christmas and the Holidays are the time to really make a JOYFUL NOISE (and make it LOUD)! And there is nothing more joyful than the sound of children making music.
One of the reasons we decided to do this A-Z of Christmas on our blog was to let people know about the wide variety of fair trade goods there are available. One thing I don’t think people would associate with Fair Trade is musical instruments. We have a range of percussion instruments, from a lovely Gecko Clacker for little hands, percussion frogs/crickets/pigs to a full size Vietnamese Gong and a Jammer Djembe.
They are all made around the world by local artists, communities and craftsmen. Producers represent theircommunity's traditions, and both male and female craftsmen are employed through the various stages of the production process. This helps to further maintain a social balance in these areas. Producers are allowed to dictate prices and these prices are well above local averages.
We also carry a full selection of Putumayo World Music CDs. Come on in, sing and play along.
