Add a string to each individual string in a list

Simple addition of a string and a list of strings yields the error cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects. Is there a more elegant way to do the following (e.g. without the loop)?

list_of_strings = ["Hello", "World"]
string_to_add = "Foo"

for item, string in enumerate(list_of_strings):
    list_of_strings[item] = string_to_add + string

# list_of_strings is now ["FooHello", "FooWorld"]

try using map

list_of_strings = ["Hello", "World"]
string_to_add = "Foo"


print map(lambda x:string_to_add+x,list_of_strings)

Use comprehension:

list_of_strings = [s + string_to_add for s in list_of_strings]
