About the Artist Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures. The label grew out of Putumayo clothing company, founded by Dan Storper in 1975 and sold in 1997. Co-founder Michael Kraus joined Dan to launch Putumayo World Music and establish a non-traditional sales division. Putumayo World Music has become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great international music characterized by the company's motto: "guaranteed to make you feel good!" Putumayo's CD covers feature the distinctive art of Nicola Heindl, whose colorful, folkloric style represents one of Putumayo's goals: to connect the traditional to the contemporary. By combining appealing music and visuals with creative retail marketing, Putumayo has developed a unique brand identity - a rarity in today's artist-based music industry.

Music to recover from a computer crash by
Seriously. Even as Windows was glaring balefully back at me from a low-res desktop without any of my favorite icons, even as my modem refused to reinstall -- how bad could it be, when I had groovy music like this going in the background?I got this collection after my local jazz station played a track from it. I'd barely heard of any of the artists but I've since looked up a couple of them individually and bought their CDs. I'm surprised they aren't much more widely known and played, considering how good they are!

Music good-- words, well gotta speak the language.
Unfortunately, some of Putumayo,s music CD's are in the the language of the culture and we miss a lot of the meaning. It's not always clear when this is the case from the reviews. Anyway, when I do understand both (or most of both) I am enriched beyond belief as the usually have incredible compilations with chosen selections that are unmatched by any other. I guess I'll have to just learn more languages.
