Wow! What a great collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! We have Cesario Evora, the Buena Vista Social Club and the Gypsy Kings here too. I feel a spending spree coming on!
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented here before, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed these two posts about music! We could use some more music in our lives, and there are so many great suggestions here.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any CD's to recommend :-/ but I think maybe harp music might be nice for children too? (Hope I didn't miss it already on your list!)
ReplyDeleteWe love music. I keep YouTube lists of different kinds of music from classical, instrumental, dance, gospel, praise/worship, seasonal... I try to keep it fresh for us and that's the tricky part. It's easy to get in a rut and listen to the same lists. Spotify and Pandora.com have recently come in very handy. The Sound of Music is a favorite album of Eva's recently but it can become too much of a good thing for us adults in the house, even though we all love it. Pandora.com is great in that we can create a Sound of Music playlist and it will play a SOM song interspersed among similar songs. The list that their computer generates is constantly keeping up with my input of what songs I give a thumbs up to (like Anne the musical) and the ones I give thumbs down to (Most any Disney movie :).
