The jewel in the crown in the Music for Little People catalog, Gift of the Tortoise is stunning in its beauty and uncompromising in its delivery of excellence. Expressed from the viewpoint of a very wise tortoise, the lush harmonies of Ladysmith Black Mambazo are supported by renowned guitarist Johnny Clegg and storyteller Gcina Mhlophe, creating a captivating blend of Zulu lore, South African history, and that country's brave optimism in the post-Apartheid era. As the drama unfolds, the listener is drawn into the spell cast by this marvelous group of players as they carry out the chant of ancestral names on "Two Shelleni," the folk legend of the "Boy Who Turned into a Cat," and the classic "Mbube (the Lion Sleeps Tonight)." --Paige La Grone

Best of the best.......2007-05-13

For anyone wishing quality for their children I've yet to find anything better. This is a magical CD. When it was stolen from the car, my son(now 18)requested I reorder it. The voice of the storyteller transports us to places and feelings we've rarely experienced and yet share a common human experience of joy and hope.If I could only purchase one CD for my child - this would be it...and I would be listening.

We Love It!!.......2006-01-16

I put this on my 19month old daughter's Wish List for Christmas and we just listened to it today. She loved the animal sounds in the beginning and danced to some of the music. It's not something she'll sit down and just listen to as a storytime yet, but I think it will be a timeless addition to our CD collection. As an adult, I enjoyed listening to the stories and the music. A good buy for younger and older children as the music is very rythymic, but not too loud (I think my daughter would have liked it as an infant).

wonderful for our 2-yr-old.......2004-11-25

This album is a great hit with our toddler. Many, many nights she requests to listen to this CD as she goes to sleep. The rhythms are wonderful for young ears, she loves to sing the choruses with the children on the recording............it tickles me to see my daughter respond so positively to lyrics in a language foreign to her.

Beautiful....and different.......2004-11-17

My 2 year old son LOVES music - all types. Laurie Berkner has been a fav for a while now. But this cd is DIFFERENT!! In a good way!!!!! It is simply beautiful and fun.

Excellent entertainment!.......2004-11-08

I bought this CD because it was geared toward children, but it had the beautiful acapella harmonies of Ladysimith Black Mombazo, which I enjoy. I found the stories to be enchanting, and my 2.5-year-old loves to sing and clap along to the songs. This is a wonderful CD to have in your own library as a break from nursery rhymes and traditional children's songs. It also makes an excellent gift for friends and family.

This is the fifth in a series of reissues of the seminal work of self-trained musicologist Hugh Tracey, whose work in Africa in the middle of the 20th century revolutionized the world's image of the art of African music, bringing to the non-African listener a genuine, unfiltered look at the local music of the continent. Tracey's methods were casual at times, moving the mic by hand as the performers played, finding the interesting moments, and of course, cutting off the often long ceremonial pieces in deference to the time available on his equipment.

This volume listens to the music of the people of the region held by the Belgians until independence in 1960. The CD opens with recordings of the slit drums, balafon, and raspy cylindrical ditumba drum. These are followed by songs for guitar, vocals, and percussion that are perhaps some of the most interesting examples of how a society can absorb an invader's culture and turn it to their own use. Also featured are some unique likembe (often identified with the European misnomer of "thumb piano"). Among the most unique sounds on the album are the chipeni, or singing gourds, simple open gourds that the performers sing into, creating high overtones and bass sounds not dissimilar to the jug familiar in old American string-band music. There are 23 songs in this set, each one representing overlooked or, in some cases, lost art forms. --Louis Gibson

Excellent Southern African acapella.......2006-07-19

If you like the Mbube acapella sounds of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, then you'll love this. At times I wondered how they could get the sound from only 3 members! It's amazing.

Unlike Ladysmith, they also add a bit of instrumentation (percussion) in some songs which fills the sound quite a bit.
