They communicate the love that these African artists feel for children and humankind?a love that transcends language.

"I wanted to give my three children (6, 5, and 3) a taste of African music and this cd was quite the find! They love it and request it often."

"We bought this CD for our children, but we probably enjoy listening to it more than they do! The tunes on this enchanting CD have a way of soothing, calming, and relaxing you. It's like being cradled and gently rocked in loving arms, but in a musical way. We love it...I recommend it for Moms and Dads and, oh yeah, of course the kids!"

"Gorgeous! Great alternatives to "When the Bough Breaks". An excellent addition to any collection, even if you don't have a kid!"
