about

Picture an African village deep in a valley. Hear the sounds of ululation drifting through the hills. Now move to the vibrant city streets of bustling Soweto, children laughing, taxis hooting, dogs barking……..and from down the street the jazzy sounds of a township saxophone. Next we are taking a ride through the African bushveld, with wild animals all around us, and the ancient cry of Impi warriors echoing through the plains. This is the authentic African collage found on the unique “African Alphabet” CD

“The African Alphabet” CD contains 13 fun sing-along songs for kids of all ages. The songs are an A to Z of things African and are composed in vibrant African styles ranging from Afro-Jazz, Afro-fusion, Afro-pop, to more traditional sounds and a whole lot more!

Aside from teaching the Alphabet in a novel way, the CD exposes kids to wonderful African music and culture where they will get to learn about Ululating, Yebo, Impis, Marimbas and so much more.
