Latin American musicians can rightfully take credit for spreading the joys of the samba, salsa, bossa nova, mariachi, and cumbia beats. This collection is a celebration of song from all corners of the Latin world. Beautifully illustrated liner notes profile each artist briefly, provide information about different countries, and describe the meaning of each song within its cultural context.

Really nice!,

I bought this CD for my son (he is from Guatemala) in an effort to keep him exposed to Latin music. I like this CD very much. The performers have nice voices and the music is professional sounding (I have bought other latin CD's that sounded like they were recorded in someone's garage).
Highly recommended!

I bought this cd for our son, who is from Guatemala. As soon as the music starts playing, he is dancing and clapping to the music. It is a fun cd, I find myself dancing around the kitchen when its on. highly reccomend.

Not really for kids - at least not all of it,

This review is from: Latin Playground (Audio CD)
I would like to start by saying that I LOVE putumayo records and I have a gazillion of them at home. However, I am very dissapointed at this record. Although the sound might sound upbeat to parents, the only children's records are #1 through #5. Number 6 is a call to arms and violence by the Ecuatorian guerrilla. Of course you wouldn't know it if you don't know Spanish, because it is a very lively upbeat tune. However as a bilingual+ household, this is one I will not be playing to my 3 year old again. The rest are, as someone on this forum said, good for ambient music for the 30-something parents' party... but I think there's much better children's records out there in the Latin American world.
