These quiet tunes from Africa provide a tranquil background for your little ones' naptimes.
The Series
Putumayo's Dreamland series includes lullabies from Great Britain and Eastern Canada (Celtic Dreamland), the Far East (Asian Dreamland), and around the world (Dreamland: World Lullabies & Soothing Songs), but African Dreamland is the most soothing, the best-suited-for-bedtime of the bunch.
The CD
From the a cappella tunes "Nomathemba", "Agalilala", "Ikope Ye Tollo", and "Kula Bebe" by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Samite, Las Hijas del Sol, and Bernadette Aningi & Anita Daulne, respectively; to the modern arrangements and production of Kaissa's "Lonon" and Tete Alhinho's "Sao Horas de Dormir", this is the warmest of the four Dreamland CDs. Rich voices, balafons, kalimbas and mbiras, koras, and marimbas...these tunes are like a musical hug.
Released April 29, 2008; Putumayo World Music
