Music reviews of World Playground
Music Review: CD For Kids and Adults
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an inspiring CD of world music. It comes with a brochure of information about the selections that I have used as a teacher of Social Studies.
Description of World Playground
After receiving hundreds of cards and letters from parents and teachers telling us how much children love dancing, singing, and listening to Putumayo CDs, we are pleased to release our first kid's CD. World Playground: A Musical Adventure for Kids is a collection of great songs from around the world that the family can enjoy together. This CD 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 fun adventure for music fans of all ages. Awards: 1999 Parents' Choice Silver Award 1999 National Parenting Publications Gold Award (NAPPA) 1999 Parent's Guide to Children's Media Award 1999 Finalist in The National Teachers Choice Award "Best of" from Scholastic Magazine "Best of" from Sesame Street Magazine NASCO A+ AwardThis 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
