Description

From Scotland to Tahiti, parents from all over sing lovingly to rock their children into sweet slumber. The hopes and dreams of each culture are conveyed in these songs; each parent gently willing the best fate for their children's future. This Rough Guide offers beautifully tranquil adventures into restful sounds from across the globe.

Several versions of traditional lullabies feature on the album. Cuban songstress and Buena Vista Social Club star, Omara Portuondo opens the album with the classic Afro-Cuban lullaby, 'Drume Negrita'. Whilst the Corsican singer, Anghjula Potentini can be heard performing the famous traditional lullaby 'Ciucciarella'. Another European contribution comes from Talitha MacKenzie, the New York born singer who offers up her version of the traditional Scottish Highland tune, 'Théid Mi Dhachaigh'. Also on this album, the Malagasy band Vakoka present their take on the traditional lullaby 'Vorombazaha'.

The bonus CD features music from Zimbabwean a capella and dance group, The Black Umfolosi 5. The rich and dulcet harmonies of their vocal music provide a gentle and comforting listening experience.

'The latest armchair backpacker collection is an enchanting multicultural journey. A fine bonus disc puts the spotlight on Zimbabwean a cappella group the Black Umfolosi 5.' The Sunday Times
