Putumayo Presents - World Playground - Volume 1

Kids can be a pretty discerning audience -- and uncompromisingly critical. But young music appreciators will find nothing to complain about with this collection. No nursery rhymes here; this is adult world music by international stars -- Taj Mahal, Ricardo Lemvo, Buckwheat Zydeco, even French anarchist rocker Manu Chao (!) Performing their most engaging, tuneful, songs, the artists here paint a luminous, friendly picture of our musical planet. The colorful liner notes boast lyrics and translations for kids, and even a bit of polysyllabic multicultural theory for the little ones.
