Between children’s music and educational YouTube channels, the Estonian multimedia project known as Lolala has become part of tens of thousands of people’s lives. And it all started in the living room of Anna and Arian Levin.

As Anna, the latest EstoCast episode guest, describes, they were equipped with performance experience, imaginative songs, and a green screen. The setup wasn’t fancy. But even so, things really took off. And their own children have been right there with them all along, enjoying the music and heart-warming exploration.

In this episode of EstoCast, hear about:

🎙️ Anna’s transition from jazz singing to writing problem-solving songs

🖥️ how the early Estonian-language YouTube scene prompted their work

🎉 how parents having fun opens up possibilities for kids

📹 and much more!
