This Naxos World Rhythm 4 Kids sing-a-long CD helps develop sensitivity and acceptance of the musical, spiritual and religious practices of people around the world, while offering kids an experiential listen, learn and sing-a-long experience. We hope to create products that engage our youth and offer learning experiences. This collection seeks to expose children to the empowering message found in world music.Rhythm 4 Kids is a company that believes children acquire self-worth through learned behavior, through experiences shared in the home, and at school. By obtaining a better understanding about the musical and artistic traditions of other cultures, children can learn to respect and cherish difference.We want children to value their peers and elders as well as to gain acceptance of others, regardless of their religion, race or creed, to develop in children the desire and ability to communicate and learn about each other's differences in a manner that is open, creative and constructive, and to foster in them an international awareness.
