If I were a really cool kid, I’d love this. As it is, I’m just a mildly cool grown-up, but I still think it’s great. The liner notes provide a nice, kid-size intro to Africa & its musical traditions. Most songs upbeat and happy. 1. Upbeat disco-y party. 2. Silly reggae-esque Swahili for horns & very happy chorus. *3. The (semi) original Zulu version of “lion sleeps tonight” 4. Fun soukouss with an joyful feeling.. *5. Happy, bouncy w/very nice vocals. 6. Upbeat dance for synths, drums, chorus. 7. Light and happy w/harp, vocals, perc. *8. Kalimba, flutes, vox. Catchy. 9. Children’s round song. Fun.. *10. Cool vocal harmonies & percussion. 11. Relaxed and sweet w/nice guitar & percussion.. 12. Pretty & simple w/female vocals. *13. Swinging & jazzy w/a fun rhythm. 5/03 | ||
