Any Putumayo fans?

Dan Storper's Putumayo world music has been around for about 15 years, and I have about a dozen of his offerings. Are there any fans out there that have some favorites they want to share? Putumayo latest - Women of the World Acoustic, is one that you may want to have a listen to.

Ok, so I'm posting non Putumayo world albums to check out...since it's the only world music thread that I can find (I like Putumayo BTW!)...just want to get these out there for general consumption.

New Ancient Strings-Toumani Diabite with Ballake Sissoko (If you like Kora Music)
Songs from a Little Blue House. Juan Carlos Formell
The Soundtrack from Amandla! (South African Freedom Music)
A meeting by the River (Ry Cooder with V.M. Blatt-- an Indian Sitar Player)

These are all classics and nearly 100% sure to please.

Yes, Habib is great. Baro is good... so is the other stuff. Mostly all the same songs on all the albums. Baro is a bit more mellow than other higher energy albums.

Lived in Mali for many years and have seen Habib in Person. Even took him to eat hot dogs once after a concert at Wolf Trap in Washington DC. Great guy. Great music.
