Everything about this CD, from its eye-popping cool packaging to its beautiful booklet, is wonderful, perhaps peerless. It's a study that spans 16 countries, catching paeans to childhood sleep from varied traditions. The set traverses the Cape Breton Gaelic tradition with the Rankin Family, Haiti with pop stars Boukman Eksperyans, and the African continent with music from Tonga, Algeria, and Cameroon. Despite their distances from each other, at times the songs sound quite alike. Voices might begin alone but then gather into choral size, with a reliance on wordless passages to emphasize the flow of time as sleep encroaches. In execution, the surprises are many. Algerian Houria Aïchi sounds East Indian; the Traditional Japanese Music Ensemble of New York sounds poised somewhere between a stately concert of historical court music and a touching homage to childhood; and German singer Michelle sounds pop-music ready even as she toes the line on singing a sleep-triggering song. Beyond being a great collection of international music, this is probably the most interesting mix available of cultural voices approaching the issue of children sleeping. --Andrew Bartlett |

loved it! |
|
My 5 year old had a really hard time falling asleep, specially in the summer when it wasn't that dark out. This CD did the trick, she loves it and asks for it every time! |

This is a beautiful, relaxing addition to our lullaby collection. It's a wonderful way to calm down before bedtime. |

disappointing |
|
I purchased this CD in conjunction with another CD with lullabies for a friend who had just had a baby. She said the music is fine but it's got an audio portion that is totally useless for her. She said she's not been able to get the CD to play just the music w/out the video portion. |

Love it! |

I love this CD and so does my daughter. I have been putting her to sleep with this CD since the day she was born (she is now 10 mths old). I have bought this CD for a few friends of mine and they also love it. Great buy. |

wonderful compilation of world lullabies |

It's a wonderful compilation of world lullabies. It's good all over the world - doesn't matter if your baby is from Mars or Paris, Americancivilwar or New York, it definitely works! |
