Free Music Notes for Putumayo Kids Presents: Animal Playground
Free Music Review: Won't Drive You Crazy!!
Hit: 4 Stars
I work at a place that plays kids music on loop all...day...long. There are many, many CDs which are ridiculously annoying, and that I would happily snap in half and never listen to another minute of. When its my turn to push play, I always, without exception, turn to Putumayo Kids, and Animal Playground is my new favorite. These songs are clever, fun, and a few tracks sound like things I might listen to myself on my off hours, like selections from the Be Good Tanyas (The Littlest Birds) and Terri Hendrix (Eagles).
If you would like to expose the children in your life to something quality, fun and entertaining, while keeping your precious sanity intact, I would recommend this CD especially. Also try Sing Along With Putumayo.
Putumayo Kids Presents: Animal Playground Poster
Putumayo Kids is committed to introducing children to other cultures through fun, upbeat world and folk music. These CD's feature songs with child-friendly lyrics and liner notes that educate and inspire cultural curiosity. Take a walk on the wild side with this global musical journey into the animal kingdom! Since children of all nationalities are fascinated by animals, Putumayo found it only natural to create a collection of exceptional songs featuring animal themes and folklore from across the globe. This enhanced CD also includes an original music video for the song "No More Monkeys", featuring Trinidad-born artisit Asheba.Putumayo's Playground series consistently lives up to its name by sending far-flung cultures out to recess, freeing them to reveal their musical fun sides. The metaphor ends there, but the parallel to actual playgrounds doesn't: as any parent who's felt forlorn at times knows, nothing nullifies a dreary afternoon funk more effectively than a trip to the neighborhood playground. So it goes with the series. Animal Playground, the latest to swing, slide, and see-saw its way into agile imaginations of all ages, is a fine-tuned creature feature as playful as a giant-pawed puppy. Even if you don't know what forro is (North Brazilian dance music), or that "Cantigo do Sapo" has something to do with a little singing frog, you'll want to shake a tail feather in time to the beat; that holds for Quartetto Cetra's right-on Italian reworking of "Old McDonald," "Nella Vecchia Farroria." No disrespect to the other exotic offerings here ("Aves," from Honduras, for example), but the English-language songs are most winning of all: Canada's the Be Good Tanyas captivate with "The Littlest Birds," and you can't help but a love a man who cries crocodile tears from his puppy dog eyes, in this case Jon Langford who, when he's not a Wee Hairy Beastie belting out "Animal Crackers," leads the excellent punk/folk band the Mekons. --Tammy La Gorce
