Editorial/Description:Album Description: Latin Lullaby These new and classic lullabies from Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Cuba and Argentina will ease your little ones to sleep. Their romantic, mystical, and playful nature reflect an essential part of the Latin soul. From simple whimsical songs passed down from mother to mother in the oral tradition, to virtuostic performances of the classics by Bola Denieve and Atahualpa Yupanqui, these cradle songs contain the styles and influences that have made Latin music the vibrant, ever-evolving phenomenon that it is today. Amazon.com: Including contributions from Tex-Mex power folkie Tish Hinojosa, Cuban opera diva Clara Alonso, and Nelie Lebrón Robles, lead singer of Paracumbé, an Afro-Puerto Rican outfit, Latin Lullaby is a richly moving encounter with dream-inducing tunes sung in Spanish. Drawing on the relatively new folk customs of Latin America, this collection features elegant guitar noodling, classical orchestration, a cappella intimacy, and straight-ahead guitar and voice lullaby, as on "Duermete Mi Nino" ("Sleep My Child"), Venezuela's national anthem. Also present are progressively traditional ballads of parental love and protection, adult concerns, and gently rootsy narratives detailing the everyday responsibilities of child rearing. The latter is exemplified by Mili Bermejo's "La Cuna de Tu Hijo" ("The Cradle of Your Child"), in which a proud papa labors over crafting a customary baby bed, as well as by Cuban pop star Xiamantha Laugart's cheeky medley about a mother's negligence and a dancing baby. --Paige La Grone

Absolutely Transfixing
October 12, 2008
This CD has been a staple in our family for the past 4 years. I simply never tire of it. It is not "kids' music" but family music!
The instrumentation is beautiful, the artists and songs are earthy, rich and varied, and it does not have that slick, overproduced feel but just a bit raw, and totally real. You can tell that this was a project with heart and soul.
I have just purchased a copy for a friend who has successfully adopted a child from Guatemala (no compilations specific to Guatemala out there!)
beatiful lullabyes for children and adults
April 10, 2008
This CD is so beautiful--I would be happy to own it even if I didn't have children. We have 5 month old twins so it's too early for us to know if they like the cd, but I'll be surprised if they don't. I even gave it to another friend as a gift.
Slightly offensive

Since I do not know spanish, I was glad the words were included. I found a few of the songs racially offensive.
Pleasing & soothing to adult & baby ears

I generally find most children's music intolerably grating because of the synthesized tinny instruments and condescending vibe. This CD has the opposite traits. Rich sounding music made with love and respect. As a co-sleeping mom, I end up listening to my daughter's CDs at bedtime. This is my favorite lullaby CD. It's very soothing and lulling. For daytime music, check out CDs by Ralph's World, Sara Hickman and Jose-Luis Orozco.
Really Lovely!

I received this cd when I was pregnant with my daughter at my baby shower eight years ago. My daughter has gone to sleep every night of her life listening to this cd- she calls it "The Lady Music." We finally wore it out, and I have just ordered a replacement. It has often put me to sleep as well. My daughter is half Salvadoran and I am a high school Spanish teacher, and I just love the Spanish and indigenous languages in this collection. If I could give it ten stars, lo haría (I would)!
