i loved nelly furtado's first album and waited a long time for this album. i love that nelly furtado puts CULTURE into her music, she uses her portuguese background in music and mixes it into her own music. she also has some songs that have the portuguese language in it. this is far better than most of the other "music" that kids are listening to these days. good messages and some good melodies.

What Parents Need to Know
About Folklore
Parents need to know that the lyrics on this CD encourage kids to be who they are and not followers. There's nothing concerning here.
