V/A: Putumayo Presents Music of the Andes

Various Artists: Putumayo Presents: Music of the Andes Putumayo World Music/Ode Celebrating its 20th birthday the Putumayo label here returns to its South American roots with this collection, Music of the Andes. I love this one. Some wonderful, enchanting moods (Tibus Futuras’ Hijos del Viento) that transcend any western-appropriation notion of this as street-busking/nail-clinic music. […]

V/A: Putumayo Presents Acoustic Christmas

Various Artists: Putumayo Presents: Acoustic Christmas Putumayo World Music/Ode I’m not really a fan of Christmas albums, I tend to hate compilations that have the word ‘Acoustic’ in the title and I can’t stand Zooey Deschanel singing (or acting for that matter, but here that is another matter altogether) and yet I’m somewhat won-over by […]

V/A: Putumayo Presents Native America

Various Artists Putumayo Presents: Native America Putumayo World Music/Ode Here’s a collection of contemporary Native American music (from the U.S. and Canada), haunting flute music – sure. But beyond that (and around that) there are songs – actual songs. Many of the artists here are singer/songwriters (of Native American descent) using aspects of their heritage […]
