Latin American Lullabies (Historias de Cuna Latinoamericanas)

Do you remember the first lullabies that were sung to you as a baby? Probably not, but there definitely is a song in your mind that brings you back to your earliest, most innocent days. Latin America, a cultural mix, has plenty of lullabies with interesting origins. Some came to arrive all the way from Africa, with the slaves that crossed the oceans and worked tirelessly under colonial rule; others were passed down from the ancestral peoples who called Latin America their home (and certainly did not call it "Latin America", of course). While another group of songs were brought by the Spanish colonizers, who had their own beliefs, their own dreams and worldviews. In this special DUAL NARRATOR episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, we listen to those songs that marked our childhoods, sing them out loud, and travel across the region to discover the origins, tunes, and meanings of all of these wonderful expressions of life. Enjoy! Transcript of this episode is available at:
