Lullaby - Berceuse: A Warm Prairie Night

Description: Teacher and singer-songwriter Carmen Campagne became a household name in the French-speaking world towards the end of the nineties. Nicknamed “the daycare diva”, she sold over a million records and videos in France and Quebec. She’s also a four-time winner of the Félix Award (Québécois equivalent to Grammy Awards).Connie Kaldor is “one of Canada’s most significant contemporary folk performers” (Billboard Magazine). Her song Wood River is considered by many to be the quintessential Saskatchewan song. In 2007, she was appointed to the Order of Canada. —School Library Journal“Kaldor sings in a warm, lush voice” —Kirkus ReviewsContains songs in English and French, a children's music classic! Amazon.ca With so many hipster artists cranking out kids' music, finding a disc of unflashy tunes for a little one to nap by can be like shopping for Keds at a custom sneaker boutique. That's not to suggest that this sweetly sung collection of French and English lullabies is plain vanilla, only that it's a likably retro exercise in dispensing the kind of music that has effectively carted kids off to the sandman for centuries. Connie Kaldor and Carmen Campagne, the performers of these 13 mostly original but classic-sounding tracks, carry their tunes in maternal voices that could smooth the most rumpled of nerves, be they in a colicky infant or a cranky grandparent. And the landscapes they describe in service of their task seem plucked from a holistic practitioner's remedy book: "Close your eyes and dream/There are clouds to cuddle/Moonbeams to climb/Stardust to catch you," goes the gentle first verse to "Dream Baby L'enfant des Reves." Kaldor and Campagne's Canadian background accounts for the bilingual twist, but it's not distracting; the French, in fact, compounds the prairie night's poufy pastel sweetness. --Tammy La Gorce
