Putumayo’s Playground series has always been more fun than it looks, and the latest installment, Sesame Street Playground, is no exception. Here are 13 audio tracks plus five music videos that deliver families to a variety of exotic destinations in a genuinely innovative way: instead of employing the usual let’s-teach-the-kids-about-global-cultures approach, which might have involved dispatching Cookie Monster and company to countries such as Brazil, India, Russia, France and Israel and delivering a set of goofball songs studded with world-music beats, the Putumayo studio heads saw fit to make a global collage of the educational TV-watching experience. Songs, then, are lifted directly from foreign broadcasts of the show--“The Song of Friendship” becomes the beautiful “La Chanson de l'Amitie,” a feast for francophile ears, and “One Small Voice” becomes the bubbly Brazilian “Uma Pequena Voz.” Coolest of all, it turns out rubber duckies are as irresistible in China as they are in the U.S.: with “Xiang Pi Xiao Ya,” the likable performer Zhima Jie has probably made bathtime as lots of fun in the People’s Republic as it is in Pittsburgh. Or Peoria. --Tammy La Gorce
Product Description
Putumayo Kids is pleased to announce the release of Sesame Street Playground, a CD/DVD set featuring songs and music videos from Sesame Street productions around the world. This new release represents a shared mission of Putumayo Kids and Sesame Workshop: to reach children worldwide and help children learn about and respect other cultures. Sesame Street Playground is the first globally distributed Sesame Workshop audio CD. Sesame Street Playground is an exciting world music adventure for kids, with each song and video produced in its country of origin. Thirteen songs from Brazil, France, China, India, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, Palestine, Russia, South Africa and Tanzania complement two from the U.S. flagship production.
Listeners can sing along to favorite songs such as "Rubber Ducky" in Chinese, while viewers will experience new sounds, characters and styles of music from other cultures by watching videos such as "Galli Galli Sim Sim," the show opening from the India series. The two-disc package features a music CD with 13 songs, featuring favorite Sesame Street Muppets, plus characters developed to reflect the unique cultural and social development needs of children in each host country. The DVD features 5 music videos that visit distant locales such as Russia, South Africa and Mexico. The DVD includes the following videos: 1. Galli Galli Sim Sim Theme (Show Open) - Galli Galli Sim Sim (India) 2. Ricas Frutas (Delicious Fruits) - Plaza Sesamo with Aleks Syntek (Mexico) 3. En Den Dino - Rechov Sumsum with Ronnie Rock (Israel) 4. Pollution Song (Thath' iphepha) - Takalani Sesame (South Africa) 5. The Song of Caretakers (Pesnya Dvornikov) - Ulitsa Sezam with Na-Na (Russia)
Colorful liner notes in four languages make Sesame Street Playground a truly educational and entertaining gift for children aged 2 and up.
