Synopsis

Album Description
Samba, bossa nova and forró are among Brazil's most popular and accessible musical styles for adults and children alike. Brazilian Playground features these and other engaging rhythms that reflect the country's diverse culture and easy-going way of life. In celebration of the exuberant sounds of this fascinating country, Putumayo Kids has collected 13 child-friendly songs from many of Brazil's most talented musicians. Featured artists include Teresa Cristina, a leading samba singer, and Brazilian Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil, renowned the world over as a true musical pioneer who led the Tropicália movement of the 1960s. The ninth CD in the Playground series, Brazilian Playground helps children learn about one of the world's most fascinating cultures. It features multilingual liner notes in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, full color photos, a map of Brazil and a glossary of musical terms. A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to the Axé Project in support of its efforts to educate and defend the rights of disadvantaged Brazilian children.

CD Reviews

Beautiful and hip!
sunny swimmer | 01/23/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Our 6 month old son was given this CD as a present by his uncle one month ago, and we have all listened to it dozens of times since then. The music is both fun and beautiful, and definitely not just for children (unlike "French Playground", for example). A few tracks (such as "Halo Halo") are so delightful and pretty that my husband and I walk around singing them to ourselves. This is by far the best Putumayo Kids CD I've come across."
Fun CD

"Fun CD for babies to dance to. I'm guessing older kids will love it too."
