What a dreadful shame to stuff this in the kiddies' CD racks. I presume no one other than the parents of fractious offspring will be lucky enough to come across it.

This is simply an excellent classical guitar CD. The atmospheric recording is superb, with a beautiful guitar tone. The pieces are all lovely and, yes, relaxing (in common with most classical guitar music). In fact, ironically my only reservation is that I would have liked to have heard slightly more variety in tempo :)This deserves better than being marketed as fodder for rendering your sprogs unconscious.

As a musician myself, I appreciated the expertise of Ricardo Cobo and the pieces he chose. As a lullaby program, I found this recording very clever and quite unique. The first few tracks got my kids attention. The selections were energetic and fun (not what I would usually play for them right before bedtime). The next few tracks seemed to guide them from their usual hyper "I'll prove to you I'm not tired" pre-bedtime behavior to a calm and inquisitive state - asking about the "musical stories" they were hearing. A very gentle and gradual winding down. The last few tracks we found to be very comforting - like coming out of a warm bath. The best part is that it's 8:30pm and they're BOTH asleep!

Unfortunately categorized as music for children, this collection is my tonic for adult musical boredom. Beautiful music, beautifully played. I first heard this disc in an interview with Cobo on the radio, and had one of those "driveway moments" where you have to stay in your car to hear the entire interview, and then hurriedly write down the disc info. What a great way to wash away the cares of the day! And, if you do have kids, what a perfect way to introduce them to great music!

My baby is a good sleeper, but has trouble settling down to nurse. This is a beatiful collection of classical guitar pieces that is soothing for both of us. Never gets old - I will be enjoying this CD long after baby outgrows it.

My babies are grown so these lullabies are for my ears. I never tire of listening to Ricardo Cobo's guitar- just lovely! Thank you.

My 2 year old and I have been listening to this album almost every night since she was born. It manages to be simultaneously beautiful, relaxing and interesting. It's great for falling asleep to but I would also recommend it for any other time you want to hear some amazing guitar.

We love this CD. Our baby falls asleep to this CD, nurses to this CD, plays on her playmat with this CD. It is a very nice flowing CD and my husband and I both love to hear the guitar as well. So nice for adults too.

This CD was in my room at a B&B I was at. I played it constantly while I was there. I promply came home and ordered it. It would have not occurred to me that this was geared for children. It is absolutley beautiful.

We play this for my daughter during her bedtime routine. She seems to love it and so do we. We especially like how they have two "programs" of songs that start out more active and get more calm and soothing. It really does seem to help her wind down.

Again, a wonderful addition to Latin Lullabies CDs. Soft, soothing sounds to help baby calm down and relax.
