Music reviews of Rough Guide to African Music for Children
Music Review: A lot of variety
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a beautiful CD, and it has something for everybody's taste.
There are some very "danceable energetic" songs, some "lounge chill-out" ones, a rap, some which flert with electronic music, and even a narration of a soccer match (13 minutes, very boring!).
There's a touch of traditional African music in every one of them.
In general I think it's a great CD.
I don't know if kids will like it (I bought this CD to take with me on a volunteer trip to Kenya. I hope the children at the orphanage will like it), but adults can be sure to enjoy it.
It's only 12 tracks and the playing time is 62 minutes.
I really love at least 3 of those (the first one from Mali MAKES you move).
Description of Rough Guide to African Music for Children
The Rough Guide To African Music For Children features some of the best-known artists from across the continent, with tracks chosen by children, for children. World Music Network, with the help of the music charity Music For Change, spoke to more than a thousand children, who selected their favourite African music tracks. Presenting the rich acoustic kora (African harp) and balafon (African xylophone) sounds of Guinean superstar Mory Kant?, the driving Afro-beat of Tony Allen and the Maasai rap of Tanzania's X Plastaz, this album showcases some of the best foot-stomping and hair-raising African music around.Africa CDs
