Product Description Putumayo Kids is pleased to announce the release of Sesame Street Playground, a CD/DVD set featuring songs and music videos from Sesame Street productions around the world. This new release represents a shared mission of Putumayo Kids and Sesame Workshop: to reach children worldwide and help children learn about and respect other cultures. Sesame Street Playground is the first globally distributed Sesame Workshop audio CD. Sesame Street Playground is an exciting world music adventure for kids, with each song and video produced in its country of origin. Thirteen songs from Brazil, France, China, India, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, Palestine, Russia, South Africa and Tanzania complement two from the U.S. flagship production. Listeners can sing along to favorite songs such as "Rubber Ducky" in Chinese, while viewers will experience new sounds, characters and styles of music from other cultures by watching videos such as "Galli Galli Sim Sim," the show opening from the India series. The two-disc package features a music CD with 13 songs, featuring favorite Sesame Street Muppets, plus characters developed to reflect the unique cultural and social development needs of children in each host country. The DVD features 5 music videos that visit distant locales such as Russia, South Africa and Mexico. The DVD includes the following videos: 1. Galli Galli Sim Sim Theme (Show Open) - Galli Galli Sim Sim (India) 2. Ricas Frutas (Delicious Fruits) - Plaza Sesamo with Aleks Syntek (Mexico) 3. En Den Dino - Rechov Sumsum with Ronnie Rock (Israel) 4. Pollution Song (Thath' iphepha) - Takalani Sesame (South Africa) 5. The Song of Caretakers (Pesnya Dvornikov) - Ulitsa Sezam with Na-Na (Russia) Colorful liner notes in four languages make Sesame Street Playground a truly educational and entertaining gift for children aged 2 and up. .com Putumayo’s Playground series has always been more fun than it looks, and the latest installment, Sesame Street Playground, is no exception. Here are 13 audio tracks plus five music videos that deliver families to a variety of exotic destinations in a genuinely innovative way: instead of employing the usual let’s-teach-the-kids-about-global-cultures approach, which might have involved dispatching Cookie Monster and company to countries such as Brazil, India, Russia, France and Israel and delivering a set of goofball songs studded with world-music beats, the Putumayo studio heads saw fit to make a global collage of the educational TV-watching experience. Songs, then, are lifted directly from foreign broadcasts of the show--“The Song of Friendship” becomes the beautiful “La Chanson de l'Amitie,” a feast for francophile ears, and “One Small Voice” becomes the bubbly Brazilian “Uma Pequena Voz.” Coolest of all, it turns out rubber duckies are as irresistible in China as they are in the U.S.: with “Xiang Pi Xiao Ya,” the likable performer Zhima Jie has probably made bathtime as lots of fun in the People’s Republic as it is in Pittsburgh. Or Peoria. --Tammy La Gorce P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Artist Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures. The label grew out of Putumayo clothing company, founded by Dan Storper in 1975 and sold in 1997. Co-founder Michael Kraus joined Dan to launch Putumayo World Music and establish a non-traditional sales division. Putumayo World Music has become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great international music characterized by the company's motto: "guaranteed to make you feel good!" Putumayo's CD covers feature the distinctive art of Nicola Heindl, whose colorful, folkloric style represents one of Putumayo's goals: to connect the traditional to the contemporary. By combining appealing music and visuals with creative retail marketing, Putumayo has developed a unique brand identity - a rarity in today's artist-based music industry. See more

great songs!
This CD has terrific songs, that can only come from the creative folks at Sesame Street. My daughter and I particularly love the DVD that comes with it, because it is so fun to see how kids in other countries, from Russia to India, get to enjoy the show! I highly recommend this CD - it is much better than lots of the other random kids music out there.

Great CD
I am impressed with this cd. My daughter and I both love the music and beats in all the songs. Granted, we don't really know what they're saying, but if you know the Sesame Street songs, then you'll get a kick out of listening to them in other languages! AWESOME CD!!

Amazing CD & DVD
My 10-month-old loves this CD and the DVD - bordering on obsession. Because it's multilingual I feel a little less guilty about letting her watch TV. The DVD only runs about 10 minutes anyway. And as long as the CD is playing when we're in the car, she is content -- no matter how long the trip. We have several Putumayo CDs and a few Sesame DVDs, but this is pretty much the only CD or DVD we end up playing.

Putamayo quality
My 5 year old daughter first watched the DVD that accompanies the CD and I explained to her what the songs were talking about when they were in a foreign language. She was intrigued and the next day we listened to the whole CD. Now she plays it on her own and sings along even when the songs aren't in English. Nice variety of musical styles.

Good, but, not five stars.
We have only listened to the CD because I don't let my toddler watch TV yet. The CD overall is good, but I cannot overlook a few things: the opening Sesame Street song in Dutch is VERY short, but of course it counts as its own track. Furthermore, the entire CD is not even 30 minutes long, which is a little ridiculous in my opinion. The Rubber Duckie song in Chinese is flat out awful. The guy does not even attempt a "Muppet-y" (Ernie) voice at all, and is not in sync with the music. Toward the end of the song, he is just completely off. I understand that synching up Chinese lyrics for a song written in English might be tough, but he doesn't even come in at the right times, not to mention, this is a professional CD, right? it sounds like they handed a random guy off the street the music and went with the first take. If you know the first thing about good music, this will probably bother you as much as it does me. Last, while I enjoy the songs in English, I guess I didn't expect there to be three on a CD of 13, including Elmo's Song, which is not at all "worldly" or "multicultural." Again, nothing wrong with the song itself, but come on. Overall I do like the CD, but it is not perfect or deserving of 5 stars.
