Amazing!

Who knew children's music could be so enjoyed by the whole family?? I couldn't get enough of this CD when we first recieved it. It is next to impossible to stay in a bad mood while listening to this upbeat music.

CD is sung in African languages - it's great.

This CD is sung is languages other than English (I won't venture a guess as to which ones, exactly). But they do sound like African languages to me. It's a beautiful CD, with upbeat sounds appropriate for kids.

Disney Commercialism

I have the first World Playground and the Dreamland Putumayo CDs and they are wonderful. Since I love African music, I ordered this CD, but it does not live up to the others. If you have Lion King, then this is very similar. My biggest disappointment is that it is sung in English with a few scattered African phrases that we all recognize (i.e. "hakuna matata" and others from Lion King).

The music is nice enough (hence the 3 stars), but too commercial. The entire time, I just kept thinking Disney.
