Raffi Information
Raffi Cavoukian (born July 8, 1948), CM OBC, is a Canadian singer-songwriter and author of Armenian heritage born in Egypt. He is well-recognized for his children's songs. His professional name is Raffi. He started as a "global troubadour" but eventually began producing music, writing books, starting businesses, and establishing the Raffi Foundation for Child Honouring.
Many children born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s consider him "the most popular children's singer in the English-speaking world" due to his numerous hit children's songs. His autobiography, the Life of a Children's Troubadour, details the early years of his successful career. "Baby Beluga," "Bananaphone," "All I Need," and "Down by the Bay" are among Raffi's most famous children's hymns.
Raffi sings and plays guitar over basic folk instrumentals on most of his children's CDs. Ken Whiteley, Bruce Cockburn, and the Honolulu Heartbreakers were folk artists from the Toronto region who contributed to the early works.
Raffi's first album, Let's Play, was released in 2002, following a seven-year hiatus from the industry. His 2008 relocation to Saltspring Island, near Victoria, British Columbia, was quiet. Artists Against Racism is a Canadian nonprofit with which Raffi is involved.
He established the triple-bottom-line corporation Troubadour Music Inc. to market and create his music, and he is still its president. Caitlin Hanford and Chris Whiteley were among the many musicians whose CDs he published.
