This collection of lullabies reflects the warmth, musical richness,
and soothing rhythms of the African continent. It is a gathering of
talented singers and musicians whose gifts are recognized
internationally.
Young and old ears will delight in the magical
sounds of mbira, balaphone, kora, a capella vocals, guitar, bamboo
flutes, dundun, and talking drum.
The lyrics sing of folklore,
family, and village life in the traditional languages of the Ivory
Coast, Mali, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Guinea, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia,
and South Africa. They communicate the love that these African artists
feel for children and humankind—a love that transcends language.
Features Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ayub Ogada, Samite, Stella Rambisai Chiweshe, and more.
The notes include original lyrics and English translations.
