【African Lullabies】 – ¥500
This was the NCAF's very first publication.
The idea for the book originated during a bus trip with African ladies in 1983, when participants shared and sang lullabies from their respective countries. Inspired by this memorable experience, the songs were recorded, transcribed into musical notation, and compiled into a book.
The lyrics, illustrations, editing, and production were all undertaken by NCAF members. As the first collection of African lullabies published in Japan, the book attracted attention and was featured in various media outlets.
A unique cultural record that preserves and shares the rich musical traditions of Africa.

African Lullabies II was published as part of the NCAF's 25th Anniversary Project.
This collection features traditional lullabies from 21 African countries. The songs are presented in their original local languages and transcribed using the Roman alphabet, making them accessible to a wider audience.
Countries represented in this volume include Algeria, Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
