Australia's population is becoming increasingly composed of different cultures, and also increasingly aware of the richness these different cultures offer. This new CD offering from ABC for Kids recognises and celebrates that diversity, with 18 songs from around the world.

With songs from countries including Austria (Edelweiss), France (Frere Jacques), Israel (Hava Nagila), Indonesia (Rasa Sayang)and more, as well as songs celbrating the whole world, such as It's a Small World and I'd Like To Teach the World to Sing, this offering will appeal esepcially to teachers, who will find plenty for lessons on multiculturalism, as well as for assembly items and singing classes.

The inclusion of the lyrics makes it easy to sing along and most songs will be familiar to adult listeners. The vocals on the album are clear, also aiding learning and singing along.

Songs From Around the World is avaialble on CD, for a RRP of $14.95.
