From clapping games to rhyming songs to dancing tunes, children all over the world while away their
playtime making music. Children’s songs are an important link between generations and pass on language,
culture. This Rough Guide features a delightful selection of music from diverse corners of the
history and
globe.
The Portuguese born singer Lura explores her Cape Verdean roots on the catchy song ‘Na Ri Na’. Her
music is tinged
with a soflty lilting and mellow feel that riffs along at a calm pace. Also of Cape Verdean
parentage, Maria de Barros stirs together West African and Portuguese influences with a gentle
of soul flavour on ‘Oh Menos’. A further West African angle is heard via the beautiful crisp
smattering
articulations of the kora that make an appearance on the track, ‘Djou’ by Guinean instrumentalist Mory
Kanté. The leading
Brazilian songwriter, Chico César sings ‘Soluço’ an amusing light-hearted song about getting
the hiccups – something many children can relate to! Whilst ‘Akata Sun Dunchi’ is a popular Okinawan
children’s song about the moon. The version on this album is the result of a fruitful collaboration between
Hawaiian guitar aficionado Bob Brozman and Japanese sanshin master Takashi Hirayasu.
Bela Lakatos & The Gypsy Youth Project whirl away on the song ‘Muro Shavo Kiki’. The lyrics are
about a father
passing on knowledge of traditional
Roma folk dances to his children. The Ukulélé Club de
Paris offer plucky up-beat textures on ‘Chigadaging’. Akim El Sikameya began to study the violin in his
childhood at the age of eight. Now a master of his art and a popular professional musician this track is
dedicated to his own children. His daughter even harps into sing along on the sweet chorus of ‘Sa Majeste
Lila’. Enjoy this outstanding collection bound to please both adults and children alike.
The bonus disc further features the legendary West African singer and excellent kora player Mory Kanté.
