Yes, today is the summer solstice with the LONGEST day and SHORTEST night of 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere. Isn&#8217;t this exciting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To welcome the summer season in music, Bambi will share a few songs with you. They are all about the imminent summer season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the chosen songs are medleys of summer melodies, by talented kids, or simply kids&#8217; songs. Other songs are light and joyful. Some other songs are more romantic. Yet other melodies are classical music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The songs&#8217; languages range from French, German, English, Lebanese-Arabic, Egyptian-Arabic, and partly Portuguese (in the last medley). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take the time to listen, Bambi hopes you will enjoy the songs, wishing  you a wonderful June 21 filled with whatever you aspire for. This being said, it is now time for music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vive l&#8217;\u00e9t\u00e9&#8230; In a melody in the charming language of Moli\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"En Et\u00e9 | Chansons pour enfants | Les comptines | Mini Disco\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t90VCzo4RW0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy summer season&#8230; in the beautiful language of Goethe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Rolf Zuckowski | Wenn der Sommer kommt\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_OeRX0f3UPM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To continue, it is now the time for the practical and lovely language of Shakespeare with the famous <em>Summer in the City<\/em> song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Summer in the City - The Lovin&#039; Spoonful [Lyrics]\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4K2Uc4SIPok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the above, it is now the time for the rich Arabic language with a lovely song by Fairouz (in Lebanese-Arabic dialect), which is subtitled in English.
