Publisher Description: Music has the power to bring people together. It helps us have a better understanding of the world in which we live, in all its wonderful diversity. The songs and rhymes of children most of all. In Kid Songs Around The World we've gathered 100 of our favorites from all the continents of the globe. This book includes:
You'll find 100 Kid Songs and Rhymes from around the world, including:
And many more We start in Africa, with welcome songs, circle dances and call-and-response tunes. Then, we move on to Asia, with songs of friendship, love and play. Then Australia and the islands of Oceania, where you can learn songs about the sea. The songs from Europe include well-known characters like the Sandman and Little Red Ridinghood. From North America you can find an Iroquois lullaby and both English and French Canadian songs. We end with South America where the music is tinged with African and Spanish influences. Each song includes the full text in the original language, with an English translation, and most include sheet music. All include links to web pages where you can listen to recordings, hear the tune or watch a YouTube performance. Each includes a beautiful illustration. Many have commentary sent to us by our correspondents who write about the history of the songs and what they meant in their lives. Kid Songs Around The World is produced by Mama Lisa's World, where we believe sharing our cultures will help bring the world closer together. At Mama Lisa's World we work with ordinary people around the globe to build a platform to preserve and exchange traditional culture. We hope this book will help foster a love of international children's songs |
