Who Needs a Baby to Enjoy This Music?

I've enjoyed this cd for several years now. If the day has been particularly stressful, I find it easy to unwind by listening to this beautiful and restful music. The selected lullabies reflect ethnic diversity beginning with the haunting "Swedish Lullaby" by Libiana, to the Spanish "A La Nanita Nana" by Tish Hinojosa, to the African "Be Still My Child" by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It's comforting to realize that in every culture in our too aggressive, troubled world, caring parents soothe their children to sleep with beautiful music. All of these songs are found on individual albums but are seamlessly brought together in this thoughtful compilation. There are a lot of lullaby cds to choose from, but this one will entertain adults as well as babies. I recently ordered it again to include in a baby shower gift. Exhausted new parents need rest too!

Great eclectic mix

I was bored with all of the standard lullabies, and I was looking for nice mellow music with different sounds from around the world. Something I would enjoy listening to also. This CD was really nice...I wish there would have been a middle eastern or indian song or two, but there's a nice worldly mix. All of the songs are gentle and good to listen to just before bedtime with my 6 month old daughter.

A Global Lullaby- very nice

I think I bought this because it had the Bobby McFerrin "Common Thread" version from my favorite lullaby CD, "On A Starry Night". It was just what I wanted- various artists, so I don't get tired of anyone's voice, and lots of variety in the music. There are swedish and african songs as well as "All the Pretty Little Horses". And most important, the music isn't overdone. I can listen to it over and over without wanting to scream- it's just soothing mood music lullabies.
