Mexican singer Thalia unveiled in Miami the new online forum "Mi Musica, Mi Herencia" (My Music, My Heritage), designed to help Hispanic parents preserve Latino culture for their families through music.
The singer, who urges mothers to celebrate their culture "without losing your love for the country you're living in," asked the audience to upload a potpourri of musical memories onto Pampers' Facebook page so it can be used to teach youngsters the value of Latino musical culture.
Thalia said she does the same with her kids, to whom she sings Pedro Infante songs, "which we can't do without, plus of course mariachi and mambo, which I love."
"My little boy loves mambo and my daughter, besides Justin Bieber, likes bachata - in our house we're always singing," said the artist, who has sold more than 40 million discs.
"As a singer it's basic to preserve what I like to do, which is music, and also to remember my cradlesongs in Spanish," Thalia told Efe in an interview, adding that at home "we only speak Spanish." EFE

My bestie is the same, so many songs that remind her of her childhood. We're doing spanish at uni, and she never mentions them though!!! Music is the best way to pass on culture after language and food.
