It’s not every day you get to mash up Nigerian Afrobeat, American country music, and Italian opera with the swipe of a finger! Barnyard Boogie is an interactive musical mix-and-match toy for young children. Swipe the rooster’s head, body, and feet to remix both the animated performance and the music while the song keeps playing. Each rooster section controls a different musical layer: • Head: lead vocal • Body: guitar / primary stringed instrument • Feet: drums and bass Each layer comes in three musical styles: Nigerian Afrobeat, Italian opera, and American country-western. Children can combine them freely to make 27 playful musical mashups, such as opera vocals with country strings and Afrobeat rhythm. Tap Surprise Mix to instantly create a new rooster remix. Inspired by classic three-panel mix-and-match board books, Barnyard Boogie lets children rebuild the rooster and the band at the same time. Every swipe changes what they see and what they hear. Under all the silliness is a big-hearted idea: the world gets more joyful when different voices, rhythms, and traditions get to play together. Barnyard Boogie celebrates musical diversity, bold self-expression, and the chutzpah to stand up and sing your own song. Features: • Swipeable three-part animated rooster • Live remixing of vocals, strings, drums, and bass • 3 musical styles: country-western, opera, and Afrobeat • Surprise Mix button for instant random mashups • 27 mix-and-match combinations • Open-ended live remix play as kids swap parts at any moment in the song • Celebrates musical diversity and bold self-expression • Simple visual instructions for young users • Designed for parent-child musical play • No ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection Based on a song by award-winning children’s recording artist Red Grammer.
