This is followed up by the intensity of "Rodopiou," a high-tempo song by Nazare Pereira that remains quiet. The violin adds to the light-hearted feel of "Hanal Weech" by Lila Downs. The tempo kicks right back up with Cubanismo's "Mardi Gras Mambo," which is also one of the few songs in English on the CD. "Lluvia De Estrellas" is a quiet, passionate song by Terri Hendrix that leads you in a gentle dance. Los 50 de Joselito follows this up with "La Arana Picua," a fun song about a spider. The CD starts off with "Guantanamera" by Omara Portuondo, a strong and proud song that soars during the verses with children joining in on the chorus. The lyrics are also provided in English and Spanish, with most of the songs sung in Spanish. Putumayo Records has done an excellent job once again with Latin Playground, a compilation CD designed for children with fun songs and well written liner notes telling them a bit about the country the music comes from, the artist, the song and the style of music.
