Product Description

This CD is a joyous celebration of Caribbean music and culture that will delight children and adults. It includes songs such as All Aboard (Trinidad), Train is Coming (Jamaica), and Little Anancy (Trinidad).

Amazon.com

Caribbean Playground is a sun-dappled disc that jigsaws the region into eight bright musical pieces, each with a surprisingly distinct sound.

Reggae dominates, getting its rub-a-dub-roasted warmth across by way of "Three Little Birds," "Jamaica Farewell," and others, but it doesn't drown out Trinidadian soca, Puerto Rican bomba, or Haiti's lovely, acoustic-heavy twoubadou. Add to that the vocal magnetism of a lot of these artists--Taj Mahal and the Wailers among them--and Putumayo's expected above-the-call packaging, and you get a CD that's cooler than a Kingston street fair, only easier on little kid ears (and lungs). -Tammy La Gorce

great for kids & adults too.......2007-05-07

fun carribean songs- easy for adults to listen to as well as kids

Putumayo music.......2007-01-06

I bought this for a friend of Barbadan descent. She wants her daughter to know the type of music from her culture.
This is great (not my type of music but then it wasn't for me!! I listened to the local library copy). Hence only the four stars.

All the tunes are well thought out, accurately represent the culture the particular cd focuses on and they're upbeat enough to capture your young one's attention whilst not becoming a source of annoyance to any adult within listening distance.

[...]
Browse their website for the whole range of music.
I own their African Women and African Playground cd's and their Celtic Crossroads cd. All of which are incredibly pleasant to listen to, given that their primary audience is children.

Buy buy buy!! You'll not be disappointed.

A Caribbean playground for all ages.......2005-05-31

This award-winning CD highlights Caribbean styles such as Jamaican reggae and ska, Trinidadian soca, Puerto Rican bomba, Haitian twoubadou, zouk from Martinique and Guadeloupe, and Louisiana zydeco, featuring steel drums, marimbas, accordions, banjos, maracas, cowbells, whistles, and washboards! Liner notes are in English, Spanish and French with cultural information, colorful artwork, and musical style, song and artist descriptions. The CD is appropriate for all ages, and especially for music education in elementary grades. Lyrics in English (five songs are sung in Spanish or French) for most of the verses of ten of the twelve songs are available through the Putumayo.com website.

I enjoyed ALL the songs on this CD. It has old favorites like "Jamaica Farewell" and "Coconut Woman" (kids of all ages will love the "co-co-nut" refrain in this one, as well as the roaring "lion"!), in addition to a zydeco version of Bob Marley's classic "Three Little Birds." Kids will also love "Little Anancy," as many are familiar with Anancy/Ananse spider stories from school. And even though I could not understand much of "Bomba Te Traigo Yo" (sung in Spanish) or "Votez Zouk" (sung in French), the addictive beats of bomba and zouk respectively had me dancing around the room! You too will be glad that this CD "brings you bomba" and makes you want to "vote for zouk!"

Nice Compilation.......2005-02-04

Putumayo releases some enjoyable compliation albums, Caribbean Playground included. However, not all the tracks on this collection are strong. This album is worth adding to your collection---but it not one that you'll continue playing over and over again.

Not Just for Kids!.......2004-11-18

What makes CARIBBEAN PLAYGROUND kid-oriented? Features include its lively, uplifting simple beats, easy lyrics, and focus on songs which demonstrate and sample the diversity of styles within the Caribbean sound.
But don't limit this collection to the playground just because of its title; many an adult - especially those new to the genre - will appreciate the variety, which includes a Louisiana zydeco band influenced by Caribbean culture (Keith Frank and the Soileau Zydeco Band).

The best of Putumayo's.......2007-05-10

Just playing this CD sets you in a good mood!. The compilation is up-lifting and all time favorites!. It is the best of Putumayo's Colection

A breath of fresh air.......2007-01-21

Uplifting and exotic. A great compilation with a beat!

fabulous!.......2005-03-10

Standard French Caribbean music, all with a great beat! I play it in my high school French classes that I teach, and the teens love it too!

One of Putumayo's Best.......2004-11-21

An easy-going mix of biguine, merengue-ish extremely enjoyable tunes that get your feet moving. Five of the songs (half the album!) are among my all-time French Caribbean faves, and there are no dogs. You can't help smiling during "Parfum des Isles, a good-natured instrumental. The live Kassav cut, OK but not one of their best, is the only true driving zouk on the cd. The rest are more laid-back, but rhythmically more interesting and appealing, with an almost Brazilian feel. The four of us at work all love this cd, and it has held up well after repeated listenings. We recommend it highly.

A fine sampler of Franco-Caribbean musical styles.......2004-02-07

A nice, smooth set of modern pop songs drawn from the French-speaking islands of Guadeloupe, Haiti and Martinique, lingering on the more tuneful and diverse end of the Caribbean musical spectrum. For someone like myself, who quickly tired of the manic, monotonous landslide of "soca" and "zouk" records during the 1980s, this disc came as a pleasant surprise. It's very listenable and engaging, a nice selection for someone looking for some accessible, poppish world music.

This group exemplifies Zouk!!!.......2003-07-06

Kassav is probably one of the best gifts given to the music world by the French Carribean. This album is filled with fun songs that are fusion of afro beats and local culture.

If you have to buy one Zouk CD, this is it!

An overlooked gem.......2005-06-30

Kassav has in recent years put out rather disappointing albums. The newer recordings simply lack the creativity of their mid-career triumphs of Vini Pou and Majestik Zouk, which offered dazzlingly intricate arrangements of instruments that fit like puzzle pieces, all taking twists and turns, each song actually two or three songs seamlessly combined. Then came the drought with lackluster albums like Tekit Izi and Nou La. Bleh.

In 1995, though, the band came out with Dife, which is every bit as clever and fun as the great recordings of the 80s, but somehow seems to have been overlooked. What a great recording this is! Rara and La Go are really inspired, and as good as anything Kassav has done.

Please, Kassav, more of the same!!

uplifting.......2000-01-31

Hurricane Zouk is a sampler of Caribbean Zouk music that first came out in 1989. A friend gave a cassette copy and I got the CD not long afterwards. Pop this in before cleaning your home and you'll get it done in record time and spend the rest of the time dancing around your kitchen. Too bad Amazon didn't provide sound samples for this.
