"This is a great CD for both kids and adults. My 3 year old loves it and so do I. I don't mind listening to it "again." It has a really great mix of world music, including slow and fast songs, songs sung by men and women, all sorts of languages, some a cappella, great guitars by Los Lobos. My favorite is "Wimoweh (Mbube) The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (yes - the same song popularized by the Tokens) by Ladysmith Black Mambazo - what a voice. But they're all great. It really is a treasure."
