Motivational Songs represents beloved children’s entertainer Raffi Cavoukian’s first album for adults in a decade. The compilation comprises tracks from 1990 to 2017, and includes themes of peace, diversity, social justice, honoring indigenous cultures, civic engagement and sustainability. All are rooted in a “compassion revolution” spirit that infuses Raffi’s music and advocacy.

In the album’s liner notes, Raffi reflects, “Turning seventy is a milestone that makes one think. A feeling of gratitude goes with entry to elderhood, and thoughts of what we will leave behind when we’re gone. As part of my legacy, I wanted to offer in one place many songs that I wrote and recorded not as a children’s entertainer, but in my role as a self-described global troubadour- inspired by world leaders and global events.”

Raffi continues, “If this work inspires you to become a changemaker, you have my admiration and gratitude. Humanity needs changemakers now and more than ever, co-creating a world that honours its young and respects our blessed biosphere – for generations to come.”
