A musical adventure to Australia with fun songs about kangaroos, didgeridoos and so much more. Australian Playground is a collection of songs that will transport listeners to the magical landscapes of the land down under. Featuring music from some of Australia’s most compelling children’s musicians, Aboriginal groups and singer-songwriters, Australian Playground exemplifies the diversity of Australia’s peoples, cultures, animals and environments.
Review:
Australian Playground is a children's album from the popular world music
label Putumayo. Among the album's ten enjoyable tracks are easygoing reggae
tunes like the NEO's “Marrtjina (Let's Go),” swinging acoustic blues
numbers like Rosie Burgess' “Random Acts,” and breezy folk songs like Don
Spencer's “Kangaroo (The Super Marsupial).” Like other releases in this
Putumayo series, Australian Playground focuses on songs with buoyant, sunny
melodies and a worldly down-under flavor.
