Welcoming Children
Into The World
Sound & Spirit's First Album!
A musical journey celebrating the joys and surprises of having a baby, based on one of Sound & Spirit's most popular programs. Music from the show includes a Jewish song celebrating the heroism of women giving birth, the "Little Potato" song, as well as tunes from Nepal, Woody Guthrie and Sweet Honey in the Rock. We've also added new tunes about the joys of adoption, more music from Africa and a few surprises guaranteed to keep both new parents and their little ones happy. Complete notes by Sound & Spirit host Ellen Kushner.
"Welcoming Children Into the World" makes a great gift for new parents, their families, and for anyone with a taste for the world's rich musical traditions!
