Putumayo - African Playground

Jambo!

Putumayo's 'Playground' range of CDs introduces children to other cultures through fun and upbeat music from around the world.

African Playground takes parents and children on an adventure, while they discover the wonders and diversity of African music - a genre that is loved all over the globe and that has influenced music worldwide.  Great for travelling in the car - the whole family can sing along.

African Playground comes with a colourfully illustrated booklet that includes:
