Take a musical journey of Latin America with these soothing songs for
relaxation and bedtime
Putumayo Kids adds to their best-selling collection of lullaby recordings with a
new release, Latin Dreamland. Collecting ten calming melodies from around Latin
America, this colourfully packaged release will ease the journey into “la
tierra de los sueños” (dreamland).
On Latin Dreamland, artists from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela,
Mexico and Peru perform traditional and new material, from a sweet song about
bunnies (“Éste era un Conejo”) by Silvia Shujer, to “A Jardineira” by
bossa nova guitarist Reginaldo Frazatto Jr., to the classic closing track
“Cielito Lindo” by Marta Gómez. Among the hauntingly lovely tracks are
“Canción de Cuna” by Maruca from Chiapas, Mexico, and “El Eco,” which
seems to resonate from the Andean mountains that inspire the music of Los Incas,
renowned for their performance on Simon & Garfunkel’s song “El Condor
Pasa.” Peruvian pop singer Pamela
Rodriguez offers a dreamy ballad “Cuñita de Hielo” (Cradle of Ice), and
Hèlio Ziskind, popular with children throughout Brazil, returns to Putumayo
Kids with a lullaby about an Amazonian tree, “Sorriso De Jequitibá.”
Like other CDs in the Dreamland collection, Latin Dreamland includes a 16–page colorful booklet of information about the artists
