Inhaltsangabe

Learn about the cultures and traditions uniting two continents with 12 lullabies and nursery rhymes. An enchanting collection of 12 traditional songs that pays homage to the rich cultural heritage and multilingual communities of West Africa and the Caribbean. Stories about children playing in the schoolyard at recess, sisters braiding each other's hair at the beach, and parents dancing and singing late into the night mesh together thanks to the music. A wide array of styles--nursery rhymes from Gabon, lullabies from Cape Verde, rumbas from the Congo, and work songs from Jamaica--are all performed exquisitely by men, women, and children in more than 13 languages. Luminous artwork and homegrown instruments, such as the djembe, cavaquinho, and Peul flute, round off this wonderful celebration of history, language, and culture. Lyrics appear transcribed in their original language and translated to English, followed by a world map and extensive notes on the cultural background of each song. A free teaching guide and activity sheets are available at www.thesecretmountain.com. Scan the QR code to listen to the songs online. WINNER OF THE CHILDREN'S AFRICANA BOOK AWARD, PARENTS' CHOICE GOLD AWARD, AND NATIONAL PARENTING PRODUCT AWARD
