Any Putumayo fans?

Dan Stroper is/was an importer of handicraft and clothing and travel the world looking for products. He named his company after "Putumayo" after a beautiful river valley in Columbia. As he was walking through Golden Gate park in S.F. one day, he heard some ethnic musical groups performing and it inspired him to collect and record music from around the world, thus "Putumayo World Music".

All of Putumayo recordings are dynamic and musical to say the least. I believe there are at least 100 titles from all over the world. A great one to check out if you are not familiar with Putumayo, is their 10th anniversary 2cd collection. Along with their latest offering "Women of the World Acoustic", I also enjoy "Blues from around the World."

Happy Listening!

Thanks for the recomendations guys, looks like we have a lot of catching up to do with Tbooe. I wasn't aware they had an internet radio broadcast, gotta check it out.

BTW, if you purchase two cds from their web site (not sure for how long), they will send you a free sampler and shipping is on them, Good deal!

Thanks for the recommendations, Honest1, Abdou, and Electroid. Listening to music in different languages and unfamiliar instruments always brings new excitement to music for me. For those who are looking to expand their music collection, World Music is one place to have a listen.

Good luck!
