Here is the description on their website:“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, Soweto, Yebo, Impis, Marimbas and so much more.
The CD is also "Adult friendly" (No purple dinosaurs were used in the making of this CD!)
A big thanks to Graeme Sacks and the folks at African ABC for donating this CD for Operation Love Zimbabwe. They've got a copy reserved for one lucky commenter!

This CD looks like fun to have.
I know a restauranteur whose wife and he are from Rhodesia...
He is very sad about what happened to Rhodesia...
It is one thing to get rid of the former white minority regime...it is another thing to have a Mugabe who is a racist and anti-Semite...and destroying the country...
Now, the Rhodesian army is eating elephant meat to stay alive...
Something is wrong...
I would like to know what you think...
my daughter would adore this

I just blogged Operation Love Zimbabwe because I do. I have known about the problems evolving there for almost a decade and I am ashamed that this CD, the earrings and the scarf actually made me blog about Mugabe's big mess!
Both of my children and I are Africaphiles. I just wish there were better ways to show our love for the whole continent rather than just buying its music and fashion (beautiful as it usually is) and donating to international charities.
our friends would love this for their daughter as he was an MK from Africa

Think of all the Zimbabwean kids who won't have the chance to learn their ABCs, but with Paula and Esme working hard a few more will survive and be able to... This CD would be fun to have to help Cambodian kids learn ABCs...
