Axis of Evil.......2007-01-11

A powerful reminder to us all that we are connected in our humanity by something as simple as a lullaby. The lullabies chosen are from places that Mr. Bush deemed the axis of evil. The title may put some off, but if the time is taken to hear the haunting, loving lullabies a new understanding about our humanity can be fostered.

great lullabies.......2007-01-10

this cd is haunting and beautiful. the first piece has incredible slightly dissonant harmonies.
i like the original language and the english translation. the story of how these songs were collected
is really interesting. enjoy

Great songs about the true human spirit, all around the world........2006-09-01

I encourage everyone to listen to this album. Everyone. It's not only a collection of beautiful songs, sung by beuatiful voices -- it's also a reminder of what it is to be human: to love and care, unconditionally. Everywhere on our precious planet, parents love their sons and daughters. This album reflects that, in a careful mix between the traditional and the modern.

Of course, as the title signals, the album is also an answer to the dangerous attempts to simplify and evilize millions of people. People just like you and me.

This is not exploitative - it's a collaboration!.......2006-04-27

Some of the people writing here don't seem to understand the concept of this album. The producer recorded the original vocals and then brought in guest artists and blended the two together in a way that enhances the original vocals and their messages. The original vocalists knew and approved of every step of the process and were very happy to share their culture with the other singers in this way! This is NOT a "world" music album - it's something altogether new and different.

So unusual and soothing/ A spritual and political statement.......2006-02-26

I've really enjoyed this CD. It's not very often that children's lullabies can transcend their traditional purpose in order to make a statement about the commonality of human experience. The CD is an appeal to peace, rocking the listener gentley into a greater understanding of those who westerners so often denominate as "the other." These songs speak of the often ineffable ties that bind mothers and children across cultures, religions, and races.
