Overview

Learn about the cultures and traditions uniting two continents with 15 lullabies and nursery rhymes. A collection of lullabies and nursery rhymes from Brazil and Portugal that invites children on an authentic musical journey to explore the strong cultural ties that bind the two countries. Traditional songs about everyday life, work and play, courtship and love, travel from Porto to Rio and Lisbon to Bahia. Fifteen traditional songs blend samba, modinha, fandango, and bossa nova and are performed by an ensemble of local musicians. This uplifting and enchanting production, featuring several indigenous acoustic instruments, captures the convergence of rich and diverse styles. Lyrics are presented in Portuguese and translated into English, followed by notes on the origin and cultural context of each song. A free teaching guide and activity sheets are available at www.thesecretmountain.com. Scan the QR code to listen to the songs online.
