The Lullabies of Jáamo
Cãacwa, Inga, Nasa, Sikuani, and Totoró families share their stories and games.
The Lullabies of Jáamo gathers the stories and games that soothe babies and children in the families of the Cãacwa, Inga, Nasa, Sikuani, and Totoró communities, five of the one hundred and two indigenous peoples living in Colombia. With fun interactions and animations, this appbook shares the words, music, and memories that elders pass along to their grandkids as gifts that once made them happy.
This appbook is part of the series With Differential Approach launched in 2014 by Fundalectura and the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) ⎯ whose goal is to celebrate Colombia’s cultural diversity by bringing us closer to the melodies, songs, stories, and games that kids in rural, indigenous, Afro-descendant, and gypsy homes grow up with, featured in their native languages and in Spanish, and with beautiful illustrations by prominent Colombian artists.
