Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

If these truly gorgeous lullabies and songs from all over the world don't soothe the savage beast within your child, nothing will. This hypnotic collection of soft and slow melodies--some ancient, some new--is perfect for lulling a child to sleep or for any evening when you want to escape into a warm bath with candles. Carlos Santana accompanies African singer Angelique Kidjo on the sweet opener, "Naima." Claudia Martinez sings "Arriba Del Cielo (Above the Sky)," a lilting traditional lullaby with roots in the Mexican state of Guerrero. The Letterstick Band, from the small An-Barra clan of Australian Aborigines, performs the moving "Yi-Rrana (Sunset)." One favorite is "Lá Vai Alguém (There Goes Someone)," a hot-summer-night-sounding lullaby sung in velvety tones by Virginia Rosa. Another lovely addition is Kanji Yano of the Sanshin Café Orchestra playing a generations-old lullaby on a traditional stringed instrument from Okinawa called the sanshin. The liner notes, written in English, Spanish, French, and Dutch, provide kid-friendly facts about the countries of origin. A portion of the proceeds are donated to the Putumayo Cross-Cultural Initiative, a non-profit organization that uses the power of world music and the arts to inspire children to connect with diverse cultures. Vive Dreamland! --Karin Snelson

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic... a must have for Mama, Papa, and Baby, May 31, 2004

This review is from: Dreamland: World Lullabies & Soothing Songs (Audio CD)
And you thought you were doomed to listen to those crummy fake vibraphone/music box sounds forever now that you are a parent? Thank you, Putumayo for not insulting our intelligence. These beautiful songs will provide your child with an enriching listening experience, and you will love them too. My favorite is the South African "Thula Mama" and I find myself singing it to my little one often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nighttime favorite, January 18, 2006
By 
This review is from: Dreamland: World Lullabies & Soothing Songs (Audio CD)
This is one of two lullaby CDs that our almost-3-year-old listens to at bedtime. We switch from one to the other now and then, just for variety. The music is lush and soothing, with beautiful songs in several languages. It helps my daughter get to sleep, but also the grown-ups can listen to it repeatedly without being driven crazy. Heck, if I were having trouble getting to sleep I might try this CD myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, July 1, 2003
By 
This review is from: Dreamland: World Lullabies & Soothing Songs (Audio CD)
Another gorgeous collection from Putumayo which has its intended effect on our 9 month-old whether in the car or at home, yet is wonderful listening for the parents. Each track is beautiful but standouts for me are the opener with Carlos Santana guesting and the haunting Teresa Doyle lullaby.
