Product Description
From Amazon.com
If these truly gorgeous lullabies and songs from all over the world don't soothe the savage beast within your child, nothing will. This hypnotic collection of soft and slow melodies--some ancient, some new--is perfect for lulling a child to sleep or for any evening when you want to escape into a warm bath with candles. Carlos Santana accompanies African singer Angelique Kidjo on the sweet opener, "Naima." Claudia Martinez sings "Arriba Del Cielo (Above the Sky)," a lilting traditional lullaby with roots in the Mexican state of Guerrero. The Letterstick Band, from the small An-Barra clan of Australian Aborigines, performs the moving "Yi-Rrana (Sunset)." One favorite is "Lá Vai Alguém (There Goes Someone)," a hot-summer-night-sounding lullaby sung in velvety tones by Virginia Rosa. Another lovely addition is Kanji Yano of the Sanshin Café Orchestra playing a generations-old lullaby on a traditional stringed instrument from Okinawa called the sanshin. The liner notes, written in English, Spanish, French, and Dutch, provide kid-friendly facts about the countries of origin. A portion of the proceeds are donated to the Putumayo Cross-Cultural Initiative, a non-profit organization that uses the power of world music and the arts to inspire children to connect with diverse cultures.

Lovely music for babes and parents,

This review is from: Dreamland - World Lullabies And Soothing Songs (Audio CD)
One thing I wasn't looking forward to about parenthood was having to listen to a lot of repetitive, babyish kids' music. A friend bought me two Putumayo CDs for baby gifts (this one and New Orleans Playground), and it was love at first listen! These melodies are gorgeous and soothing without being simplistic and kiddish. I actually enjoy listening to this disc when I'm in need of something relaxing. My baby loves it too - I often pop it on the iPod when I'm trying to get him down to sleep, or just when we want to start calming down at the end of the day.

Dreamland - World Lullabies and Soothing Songs,

This review is from: Dreamland - World Lullabies And Soothing Songs (Audio CD)
I was somewhat disappointed in this CD. I know that lullabies are mostly simple repetitive melodies and are supposed to be relaxing, but some of the pieces on this CD didn't appeal to me that much - I found them quite honestly boring, and not very soothing.
