Cocojams is a repository of information, examples, and videos of children's playground rhymes & cheers.  Cocojams uses a folkloric approach to showcase the words of real rhymes that children and youth recite.  Cocojams.com feature*s pages on African American civil rights songs, fraternity & sorority step & stroll chants, as well as (clean) military cadences, sea shanties, and Mardi Gras Indian songs. Cocojams.com also features video examples of selected song & dance traditions and - as a bonus feature - includes pages on the origin & meaning of selected personal names & nicknames. The tie that connects all of these pages is my interest in children's playground rhymes, music, dance, and naming traditions.

Seems to be a great project about popular music in Latin America. I am going to try this with my kids today!

If you ever need a folk song.... :)
