“Chukke Hakki” is an Indian song, originally in the language Kannada, about reaching up high high high and catching the stars. I first heard “Chukke Hakki” on one of the magnificent collections of children’s songs by French-Canadian ethnomusicologist Franis Corpataux, Les Chants des Enfants du monde Vol. 2: South India, Childrens songs from Southern India. Since then I’ve shared the song with so many kids, in my music classes, in curriculum packs I make available to schools and, in this very video, at the EdVenture Children’s Museum in Columbia, South Carolina, with support from the singing Sands.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
