CD ReviewsGreat bedtime CD J. Perry | North Carolina | 05/17/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I bought Dreamland & African Dreamland last week, and this one arrived today, and it's great! Very calming music to play during the bedtime routine, and best of all, it's the type of CD you can play on repeat & not get sick of. I'm a big fan of the Putumayo Presents series, and so far, I haven't had any disappointments with any of them. " A treat for listeners of all ages Midwest Book Review | Oregon, WI USA | 05/08/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The latest in the "Dreamland" series of music CDs, African Dreamland is a treat for listeners of all ages, featuring peaceful and relaxing melodies by African singers. Some songs are purely vocal; others are accompanied by traditional instruments such as the kora, mbira, and balafon. All are a wonderful lullaby tunes ideal for helping listeners young or old drift off to sleep. The tracks (representing a diversity of African nations and cultures) are "Nomathemba", "Mimi", "Lonon", "Douyore", "Agalilala", "Usa Cheme", "Ikope Ye Tollo", "Mali Sadio", "Salaman", "Kula Bebe", and "Sao Horas de Dormir"; liner notes in English, Spanish, French, and German are included. A portion of the sales proceeds from "African Dreamland" will be donated to NextAid, a non-profit organization committed to creating and implementing solutions to the difficult challenges confronting African children." Good Anytime CD D. Gulizia | San Jose, Ca | 06/30/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "The kids love it during the day, or even when my daughter drifts off to sleep. Putomayo CD's have always been one of her bedtime favorites. Some nice tracks for her to listen to as she nods off for the night. I even enjoy listening to some of them as they have a good rhythm.
Not only does it provide musical entertainment, this one is also a learning piece. Sometimes the kids ask questions about where the music comes from, or what instrument is being played. Highly recommend all Putomayo for those who are "enlightened" and actually find some value in new culture, those other than our narrow own. " |
