Samba, bossa nova and forró are among Brazil’s most popular and accessible musical styles for adults and children alike. Brazilian Playground features these and other engaging rhythms that reflect the country’s diverse culture and easy-going way of life. In celebration of the exuberant sounds of this fascinating country, Putumayo Kids has collected 13 child-friendly songs from many of Brazil’s most talented musicians. Featured artists include Teresa Cristina, a leading samba, Gilberto Gil, renowned the world over as a true musical pioneer who led the Tropicália movement of the 1960s.

Brazilian Playground helps children learn about one of the world’s most fascinating cultures. It features multilingual liner notes in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, full color photos, a map of Brazil and a glossary of musical terms.

A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to the Axé Project in support of its efforts to educate and defend the rights of disadvantaged Brazilian children.

Inside every Putumayo Kids CD case you will find lyrics in English and the native language, information about the artists, where each song originates and the history of the song's style.
