Rocking and singing reassure babies and small children – with this ritual millions of mothers, fathers and grandparents worldwide lull their children to sleep. This custom has existed since the earliest days of mankind. “Dorme, dorme, meu menino” is sung in Portugal, “Tuta nana tgu” in Grisons, a small part of Switzerland, “Lala, mtoto lala” in Swahili. This book presents 51 beautiful lullabies from all over the world in their infinite variety.
For all songs, an english translation and pronounciation guide is always included in addition to the original language. The book includes a singalong CD with the texts read by native speakers. Delightful pictures by famous photographers illustrate the cultural riches of our world.
In collaboration with the European Choral Association – Europa Cantat.
With photographs by Steve McCurry, Eve Arnold, Sven Cichowicz and others.
This book is the English version of Wiegenlieder aus aller Welt. For the German version, please have a look at Carus 2.405/02.
