Assembly: ZunZun has spent many years in the endangered rain forests of the Americas discovering a vast array of sights, sounds, stories and songs; now this musical duo helps audiences celebrate these discoveries. Using a variety of folkloric instruments, storytelling and comedy, The Musical Rain Forest - La Selva Canta evokes vivid aural landscapes to illuminate the tales and legends presented. Students participate and sometimes play instruments as they learn about the importance of protecting these irreplaceable world treasures, our rain forests. Songs are performed in a mixture of Spanish/Portuguese and English.

ZunZun, a husband and wife musical theatre duo, has performed for more than 100,000 people in 14 countries of the Americas. They have appeared on regional, national and international stages, and on radio and television. As ZunZun, Stephen Snyder and Gwynne Cropsey blend music and storytelling, utilizing various musical genres and over 30 folkloric instruments to highlight the cultures and environments in North, Central and South America.
