Latin Dreamland

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 Track Listing: Disc 1: Silvia Schujer with Julieta Szewach and Mariano A Fernandez – Este era un Conejo Maruca – Cancion de Cuna Marcio Faraco – Noite de Lembrar Reginaldo Frazatto Jr – A Jardineira Amanda Martinez – Cucurrucucu Paloma Los Incas – El Eco Pamela Rodriguez – Cunita de Hielo (por Triste) Helio Ziskind – Sorriso de Jequitiba Luis Salinas – Un Vals / 10.
