CHILDREN'S AFRICANA BOOK AWARD WINNER An enchanting collection of
12 traditional songs that pays homage to the rich cultural heritage
and multilingual communities of West Africa and the Caribbean.
Stories about children playing in the schoolyard at recess, sisters
braiding each other's hair at the beach, and parents dancing and
singing late into the night mesh together thanks to the music. A
wide array of styles-- nursery rhymes from Gabon, lullabies from
Cape Verde, rumbas from the Congo, work songs from Jamaica-- are
all performed exquisitely by men, women, and children in more than
thirteen languages. Luminous artwork and homegrown instruments,
such as the djembe, cavaquinho and Peul flute, round off this
wonderful celebration of history, language, and culture. Lyrics
appear transcribed in their original language and translated to
English followed by a world map and extensive notes describing the
cultural background of each song. The book also includes a QR code
to access the songs online.
