World Music For Little Ears CD

This Ellipsis Arts compilation is a wonderful sampler of international lullabies, serving as both a fun cultural lesson, and as the perfect bedtime soundtrack. From Geraldo Leite's soothing bossa nova "Pro Nene Nanar" to Pepe Castillo's shadowy and wistful folk song "A Dormir," WORLD MUSIC FOR LITTLE EARS will take both children and adults around the world in forty winks.

There is a particular emphasis on songs from Latin America, Africa, and the UK (including Scotland and Wales); and while there are not many lyrics in English, the sweet, lilting nature of the melodies should immediately bridge any cultural barriers. Well-selected and sequenced, this charming collection is highly accessible to all ages.
