Global Adventures at Home
In the spirited video below, Asterius trys out his new talking globe, a gift that merges play with learning. His delight is palpable as he activates the national anthem feature, choosing Brazil's anthem to fill the room. As the instrumental anthem fills the room, Asterius, with infectious enthusiasm, skips around the room. He then transitions to playing the accordion, adding a whimsical musical touch. Alline enhances the scene by singing the Portuguese lyrics. Meanwhile, Caelum introduces a metronome to the ensemble, adding a rhythmic backbone to the musical celebration.
