World Playtime
From clapping games to rhyming songs to dancing tunes, children all over the world while away their playtime making music. Children's songs are an important link between generations and pass on language, history and culture. This Rough Guide features a delightful selection of music from diverse corners of the globe.

The Portuguese born singer Luraexplores her Cape Verdean roots on the catchy song 'Na Ri Na'. Her music is tinged with a softly lilting and mellow feel that riffs along at a calm pace. Also of Cape Verdean parentage, Maria de Barros stirs together West African and Portuguese influences with a gentle smattering of soul flavour on 'Oh Menel'. A further West African angle is heard via the beautiful crisp articulations of the kora that make an appearance on the track, 'Djou' by Guinean instrumentalist Mory Kanté.

The leading Brazilian songwriter, ChicoCésar sings 'Solu&;ccedilo' an amusing light-hearted song about getting the hiccups - something many children can relate to! Whilst 'Akata Sun Dunchi' is a popular Okinawan children's song about the moon. The version on this album is the result of a fruitful collaboration between Hawaiian guitar aficionado Bob Brozman and Japanese sanshin master Takashi Hirayasu.

Bela Lakatos &;amp The Gypsy Youth Projectwhirl away on the song 'Muro Shavo Kiki'. The lyrics are about a father passing on knowledge of traditional Roma folk dances to his children. The Ukulélé Club de Paris offer plucky up-beat textures on 'Chigadaging'. Akim El Sikameya began to study the violin in his childhood at the age of eight. Now a master of his art and a popular professional musician this track is dedicated to his own children. His daughter even harps into sing along on the sweet chorus of 'Sa Majeste Lila'. Enjoy this outstanding collection bound to please both adults and children alike.

The bonus disc further features the legendary West African singer and excellent kora player Mory Kanté.
