5.0 out of 5 stars A trip down the path to our own childhood, June 26, 2000

This review is from: Songs of Innocence (Audio CD)

De Courson's "Songs of Innocence" is a compilation of songs that weave children's choir with orchestral arrangement - a proper symbolism of children's innocence living in an 'ordered' adult world.

It is touching to hear the soloist singing 'El Vuelo' with the sound of Uilean pipe in the background, but yet you can almost feel the joy of the children as they play in the back alley as 'Toma que toma' or 'La Bigoudine' plays on. Some of the songs invoke a reflective longing into your long-gone childhood, in some, you can almost feel the harshness of the environment that some children have to live in ("Barisokhanda") but yet others bring deep joy. The musical arrangement is beautiful and the children's voice is sweet ... This album is a must for those who can appreciate children and their innocence.

The songs make you realize, in whatever language and tunes that the children sing and speak, they all belong to the same family. And once, we were children with the same sweetness and innocence ...

A friend from Mexico send this CD to my hands, in Costa Rica and I love it. It is the same concept of Adiemus, but with children of all around the world. I love the hit song Toma que Toma

From the first time i heard this record i got impressed with this music, it's a treasure!! It touches your soul in a beautifull way.
Mome Stoine,El Vuelo,Toma que Toma and
La Bigoudine are my one year old baby's favorites.
(and mine).

but for god's sake don't miss it.
