Music Monday

You just NEVER know what genre I am going to draw from for Music Monday. I don't know how many people have heard of Putamayo, but if you haven't then you should explore the music they have to offer. Putamayo compiles CD's of world music for adults and children. Their CD's might feature a particular continent/country or a style of music with examples from many countries. The only Putamayo CD I own is called Dreamland and contains lullabies from all over the world. But the kids and I regularly check out other Putamayo CD's from the library. They are always high quality.

My favorite lullaby from the Dreamland CD is from Brazil. It is sung by Virginia Rosa and the title is "La Vai Alguem (There Goes Someone)." A loose translation of the words is "There goes somebody and who could it be? / There goes somebody in the night beyond / Bringing everything treasured by the heart."
