Un beau soir de novembre, sur une cheminée, mon œuf s'est enfin fissuré... J'ai deux grands yeux noirs et brillants, toutes mes dents et de drôles d'écailles sur le bout du nez... De ma gorge, je peux faire naitre un grognement... "Viens-là !" a dit mon père. "Mon fils, mon petit dinosaure", en cette nuit d'automne, je te nomme Salvador ! Salvador est un livre audio-OVNI sur la différence, la musique et l'amitié. Texte slamé par Hassan Guaid et mis en musique, au piano, par Franck Thomelet.

Une chenille se promène. C'est Trombino. Elle sait faire plein de choses ! Un lié quand elle n'a pas envie de se taire ou un glissando quand elle joue au toboggan... Une autre chenille apparaît, Trompette, avec qui elle forme un joli duo. Quand les trois sœurs Percussions se pointent, ça dépote ! Et avec Piano et Basse, c'est encore plus rigolo ! Mais... il manque un petit je-ne-sais-quoi... Une voix bien sûr ! Quand elle surgit, la musique devient "Salsa" et c'est la fiesta !

Vent frais, vent du matin, vent qui souffle au sommet des grands pins...

Mis en voix, en musique et illustré par l'inventif duo du Petit Rayon Magique, le livre audio est propice à la rêverie et à la danse. Les illustrations sont astucieusement découpées-collées et la musique délicatement électro.

Era un niño al que le atraía mucho la música, en especial las murgas y disfrutaba de pasearse por los tablados y hacerse pintar la cara cuando un murguista bajaba del escenario. Una noche de verano, sus padres fueron al cine y Jaime no se podía dormir. Escuchó por la ventana el sonido de una murga y salió sin permiso al tablado.
