Pack the world in your picnic basket with this collection of delicious songs.

Music, food and good times just seem to go together. This summer, Putumayo Kids celebrates the joys of eating with a brand new, globe-trotting CD from their award-winning children’s Playground series. Released just in time to enhance summer get-togethers, Picnic Playground serves up a colorful basket full of tasty musical treats.

Click on any title to listen to a sampling of the song:




Picnic Playground provides a veritable feast of international songs about food, cooking and healthy eating in a global gumbo of musical styles and languages. American artist Jay Mankita’s opening song “Eat Like a Rainbow” sets the tone for the album, and the delectable songs that follow from Australia, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Canada and Trinidad add to the exuberant musical smörgåsbord. These fun, upbeat songs will help get kids moving and dancing to the rhythms.

The artists on Picnic Playground sing so joyously about delicious food that you can almost taste it.

A portion of Putumayo’s proceeds from the sale of Picnic Playground will be donated to Vitamin Angels, providing essential nutrients to children in the U.S. and around the world.

About Putumayo Kids

Putumayo is a river that begins in the South American country of Colombia and flows along the border of Ecuador and Peru until it reaches the Amazon in Brazil. Putumayo’s founder, Dan Storper, was traveling through the region in 1974, and was so enamored with its beauty, he decided to name his new handicraft shop after it.
When traveling he often would collect music from the different areas he visited and would make compilations to play overhead in his store. So many people commented on his music selections he eventually sold the
stores and started Putumayo World Music.

At least one percent of the CD sales benefit non-profit groups that support children, families, schools and other charities.

Love it!

written over 1 year ago

This cd is one of the favorites in our family. We like to bust it out on cold days and dance in our living room. I love to hear the voices of my little ones singing “I like to eat like a rainbow…” Some of these songs really make you want to dance. Lively and fun!

My 14 month old son likes this CD almost as much as the Latin and European Playgound CDs in this series! The songs about ice cream, bollitas, and “organic parents” are too cute and lots of fun. It’s got a wide range of sounds/rhythms and the songs are catchy and danceable!
