Dream Songs Night Songs from Mali to Louisiana [With CDROM]

By Patrick Lacoursiere

Book Overview

Beautifully recorded lullabies from around the world are sung in the language of origin along with an illustrated bedtime story--in English, Spanish, and French--about an imaginary journey to unknown lands. Performers Sylva Balassanian, Mary Fujiwara Burke, Juan Jose Carranza, Hart-Rouge, H'sao, Paul Kunigis, and Nathalie Picard share their culture in offering lovely, warm lead vocals and harmonies, supported by a highly skilled group of musicians playing more than 30 different instruments. The earth-toned, dreamlike illustrations reflect both the subject and country of origin of each song.

Customer Reviews

Goodnight, sleep tight...

I am always looking for a good collection of lullabies and really enjoy international collections. This one is probably our favorite along with the "Lullaby, a collection" by music for little people. Both our infant and toddler enjoy the CD, and so do we. It is a good way to wind down and a great introduction to the different musical sounds and languages that are important to developing minds.
