In class this season we have the pleasure of learning family-friendly songs from all over the awe-inspiring African continent. If you want to dive even deeper definitely check out All Around This World: Africa, a dazzling double CD — 32 studio recordings of songs we sing in our Africa classes, co-produced with musicians from all over Africa. There’s a little bit of everything on it for you and your kids, from Cape Verdean samba to Malagasy salegy, from Algerian rai to South African isicathamiya and more. If you order the physical CD — allaroundthisworld.bandcamp.com! — you’ll get an exciting little booklet with lyrics and a map of Africa that shows you where the songs originated. If you want to stream it, one digital CD at a time, I guess that’s fine too.
