Music reviews of World Playground
Music Review: We love Putumanyo Playgrounds!
Rating: 5 Stars
We bought this CD on a whim when my daughter was a baby. Now that she's 3, it is her favorite CD. We have 3 other 'Playground' CDs and they're all wonderful. What I like best about them is that my husband and I enjoy listening to them, too. It is very accesible world music.
Description of World Playground
Putumayo Kids is committed to introducing children to other cultures through fun, upbeat world and folk music. These CD's feature songs with child-friendly lyrics and liner notes that educate and inspire cultural curiosity. This lively collection of global songs takes children and parents on a musical journey to faraway places where they can be introduced to other people and places around the world. A trip to the World Playground makes exploring other cultures a adventure for music fans of all ages! Featured artists include Manu Chao, Taj Mahal, and Cedella Marley Booker.This anthology of children-related tracks originates from the globally conscious Putamayo Records catalog. Artists from Africa (Senegal's Tour? Kunda, Congo's Ricardo Lemvo), Europe (France's Manu Chao), the Caribbean (Jamaica's Cedella Marley Booker), North America (Buckwheat Zydeco and Eric Bibb from the U.S.; Canada's Teresa Doyle), South America (Brazil's Nazar? Pereira), and Australia (Trevor Adamson) offer tracks, and while the styles and moods vary, the album gels excellently. Even if the multicontinent angle strikes you as too catholic, it bears reiterating that this is a "playground" session, a collection that begins with a Senegalese in-line dance and continues through "Mardi Gras Mambo," a bongo-playing French monkey, and much more. And while the songs are playful, there's nothing in the way of tossed-off music. It's all first-rate, with the artists at the top of their games. --Andrew Bartlett
