Product Description
Amazon.com
Putumayo's Playground series consistently lives up to its name by sending far-flung cultures out to recess, freeing them to reveal their musical fun sides. The metaphor ends there, but the parallel to actual playgrounds doesn't: as any parent who's felt forlorn at times knows, nothing nullifies a dreary afternoon funk more effectively than a trip to the neighborhood playground. So it goes with the series. Animal Playground, the latest to swing, slide, and see-saw its way into agile imaginations of all ages, is a fine-tuned creature feature as playful as a giant-pawed puppy. Even if you don't know what forro is (North Brazilian dance music), or that "Cantigo do Sapo" has something to do with a little singing frog, you'll want to shake a tail feather in time to the beat; that holds for Quartetto Cetra's right-on Italian reworking of "Old McDonald," "Nella Vecchia Farroria." No disrespect to the other exotic offerings here ("Aves," from Honduras, for example), but the English-language songs are most winning of all: Canada's the Be Good Tanyas captivate with "The Littlest Birds," and you can't help but a love a man who cries crocodile tears from his puppy dog eyes, in this case Jon Langford who, when he's not a Wee Hairy Beastie belting out "Animal Crackers," leads the excellent punk/folk band the Mekons. --Tammy La Gorce

This review is from: Animal Playground (Audio CD)
My son just loves this CD. He wants us to play it over and over. It is a great compilation of songs with lyrics in many different languages. Fantastic exposure to languages for the little ones. I catch myself singing them in my head during the day!

Fun and different kids' music,
By SarasotaSarah - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Animal Playground (Audio CD)
I bought this CD for my 6 month old daughter. I was a bit tired of the traditional kids' music. She giggles at the songs and bounces and taps her feet to the music. Tons of fun for babies and kids as well as music that adults can tolerate. I would buy the CD for the Ladysmith Black Mambazo song "Mbube" (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) alone. I highly recommend this one!
