Summary: A Classic!
Comment: My mother grew up listening to some of these lullabies (she is from Peru). It is a classic! I use a couple of songs to comfort my children when they are upset. My kids love it!

Summary: My Daughter LOVES this!
Comment: I bought this and 3 other CD's in Spanish for my daughter, who is not latina and has not had any true exposure to Spanish. She absolutely adores this CD more than the others and insists that I play it in the car ALL THE TIME. Since I studied Spanish and got my MA from the Univ. of Puerto Rico, I don't mind one bit! :-) I also love how much the marimba and mallet percussion is used. There is a great blend of fast and slow paced music.

Summary: Not a big hit
Comment: My son, who normally loves music, is not so crazy about this. The songs are soothing sounds, but he just doesn't like listening to it.

Summary: Just what I was looking for...
Comment: An important note: This CD was originally released in 1962. I think that is an asset. It has 14 songs; some new, some traditional and all but one (Diez Niñitos/10 Little Indians)originally written in Spanish. Because it was recorded in the early 60's the music and lyrics are simple, basic and not overdone or too busy for young ears. The singers, both adult and children, speak clearly. It was just what my baby (7 mo.) and I wanted to hear to reinforce her Spanish language acquisition. So many others use translated songs that are great in English but rarely work as well in Spanish. Cri-Cri is nice but not really a sing-along, more of a story telling since there's no chorus and nothing ever repeats. This CD gives us a welcome change from our José Luis Orozco and you can't beat the price.
