Pour les enfants — hear also some West-African children’s songs, animation for young persons: Comptines d’Afrique

[These are Nursery Rhymes from Africa: »Welcome to the number-one YouTube channel of animated African nursery rhymes — Chain that connects and transmits — Welcoming channel where we play, cook, dance, sing, clap our hands and invent the future — Channel that puts its values into practice, benevolence, empathy, education — Welcome to COMPTINES D’AFRIQUE, African children’s songs channel — Best way for our children to become world citizens« (ibid.)]
(Click on the above images (screenshot) to find more videos of different length and theme. — Listeners and viewers of any age and early readers might learn the French language and African languages by this too. The music appears to be very tasteful. But be careful about television and new media in general, regarding the child’s mental health and natural learning, abilities!)
