About Lullabies Of Latin America

Product Description Lullabies Of Latin America Amazon.com Gifted with a gracefully pliant midrange soprano, stellar recording artist Maria Del Rey here turns her attention to lullabies and to an immersion of culture and language with Latin American poems adapted and translated for this purpose. Del Rey delivers the first half of Lullabies of Latin America in the gently fluid tones of Spanish, then follows up in the second half with a repeat of the same songs sung in English. Del Rey's cello, piano, and acoustic guitar figure prominently, and she is also accompanied by a talented group of musicians on percussion, strings, flute, and oboe, as well as on Peruvian harp, panpipes, and other traditional Latin American instrumentation. "Duerme Clave" and its English counterpart, "Sleep Rosie Flower," are particularly engaging, featuring soft piano and elegant lines of Spanish classical guitar. "San Augustine" and its correlation are gorgeously slumber-inducing duets. With their unhindered capacity for linguistics, wee ones will be sweetly singing along with both versions in no time. --Paige La Grone Review Beautiful, professionally produced tender quiet-time poetry and songs by writers and composers from Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, given a home-cozy feel in the sweetness and purity of bilingual recording artist Maria Del Rey's vocals, and the other adult and child voices heard here. A 1999 Parents' Choice® Gold Award Winner. (Lynne Heffley, Parents' Choice®) --
