Loja do Sapo Zé (Loja do Mestre André)
Mundo Aquarela Kids
Musical Adventures in the Shop of Sapo Zé
The song 'Loja do Sapo Zé (Loja do Mestre André)' by Mundo Aquarela Kids is a delightful and whimsical children's tune that takes listeners on a journey through the magical shop of Sapo Zé, a frog who sells musical instruments. The repetitive and rhythmic structure of the lyrics makes it easy for children to follow along and sing, enhancing their engagement and enjoyment.
Each verse introduces a new musical instrument that the narrator buys from Sapo Zé's shop, starting with a pianinho (small piano) and adding a violão (guitar), tamborzinho (small drum), flautinha (small flute), sanfona (accordion), and cornetinha (small horn). The onomatopoeic sounds associated with each instrument—'plim, plim, plim' for the piano, 'blão, blão, blão' for the guitar, and so on—add a playful and educational element, helping children to associate sounds with specific instruments.
The recurring line 'Sapo Zé, Sapo Zé, é o sapo que lava o pé' (Sapo Zé, Sapo Zé, is the frog who washes his feet) adds a humorous touch and reinforces the character of Sapo Zé as a friendly and quirky figure. This line also serves as a catchy refrain that children can easily remember and repeat. The song's structure, with its cumulative verses, not only makes it fun but also aids in memory development and sequencing skills for young listeners.
