From Carlos Santana dabbling in jazz fusion despite Clive Davis' discouragement to the current popularity of Bebel Gilberto and the J.Lo/Marc Anthony biopic about salsa singer Hector Lavoe, Latin flavors have spiced up American jazz. Putumayo's "Latin Jazz" is an excellent sampler of the genre,beginning with a 1957 song from Machito and ...             Arabic Groove41 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2001 This will definitely hook you! Bought this CD for a party, and I really enjoyed it. I listen to it in my car a lot, great dance music, much of it is really lovely and catchy, and the arab singing style on most of these tracks is pretty low-key --- not too intense for western ears. Nice too, for checking out different artists, to see which ones you would like to hear more of. Definitely recommend it!             Cuba20 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 1999 I love this music series Cuba is one more in a line of very good CD's that make you want to dance in your car. I spend a lot of time in the Caribbean and everyone envies my music collection.             Putumayo Presents: Acoustic Africa8 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2006 An excellent compilation I picked this up on a whim at my local CD shop. Not all Putumayo compilations are as good - this one has a consistent feel and excellent tracks. What made it really worth it for me was the discovery of artists I didn't know. Alongside big names like Angelique Kidjo and Faya Tess, there was the beautiful voice of Dobet Gnahore from the Cote d'Ivoire, Gabriela Mendes from Cabo Verde and two artists ...             Putumayo Presents: Cafe Cubano3 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2008 A Musical Mojito Putumayo's "Cafe Cubano" is the latest in the world music's cafe series,and so far,the best. While Italian&French Cafe are bland collections, the Cuban one is a savory blend of old and new music. The compilation is like a mojito-a cold limeade with the extra kick of rum. There's even a recipe--a mojito dipping sauce made with lime,lemon&orange juices. "Cafe Cubano" opens with Jose Conde y Ola ...             Putumayo Presents: Acoustic Brazil10 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2005 Brazilian Brilliance Putumayo has never gone wrong with its Brazilian compilations.Like "Brasileiro",its first Brazilian compilation,this album is focused on the country's acoustic music.This album is reflective,relaxing,and at times bittersweet,like dark chocolate. Highlights- 1)Aquele Frevo Axe-On this song,Gal Costa sounds like the more famous Bebel Gilberto.It's a delightful song,despite its theme of lost ...             Putumayo Presents: Latin Lounge12 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2005 Great Lounge Music I fell in love with this C.D. from the beginning. A few friends have gone out to buy it after listening to it. Great music for hanging out with friends or listening in the car.             Instrumental Paradise Volume 812 reviews Mehdi SoothingMusic.Com, 2007 Speechless I Swear I dont know what to say,Magical Middle eastern Tabla and beat (wow)...Percussions....Passion...Flutes...Zaar....my soul was singing when I heard this album...Magical, see I told you I dont know what to say...GET IT!!!!!!!             Putumayo Presents: Paris15 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2006 A great introduction to the Putumayo series PARIS is the first compilation in the Putumayo series that I really took a shine to. The first cd in the series I heard was ARABIC GROOVE earlier this year but I was bored with it. It wasn't until the PARIS compilation did I realize how great Putumayo series is. PARIS is a delightful compilation of Parisian music from the Nouvelle Scene (new scene). When I listen to the cd, I feel like I am ...             Dreamland27 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2003 The most incredible lullaby CD EVER! This is a compilation of the most stunning lullabies I've ever heard. My daughter is 10 months old, and I can't believe that we just discovered this album now! The other lullaby CDs we own pale in comparison to this CD. I can't imagine anyone not loving the songs on this album as much as we do. But it... you won't regret it.             Putumayo Presents: Baila - A Latin Dance Party4 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2006 TRULY A SENSATIONAL PIECE! This music makes you want to get up and dance! The first few tracks are the best, but the whole CD is very good. I could not stop listening to son fro by africando and many more. Hide this CD because once you pop it in, your friends will never want to give it back to you. After owning gypsy caravan, afro-latino, afro latin party, salsa around the world, cuba and many more i have come to say that ...             French Cafe32 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2003 Est-ce que vous fumez ce soir? Listen, I know it's universally fashionable to bash the French these days. And I won't pretend I'm above it. Sometimes it seems the French go to great lengths to be unlikable. But, after listening to this collection, I just can't bring myself to be another jackal heaping on the abuse. Sure, the French can be relentless with their humorless, self-righteous, hypocritical pretensions. But they ...             Putumayo Kids Presents: Sing Along With Putumayo17 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2004 Another favourite in the car On long car drives this has been a hit with the Grandkids. The music is catchy and appealing to all ages.             World Playground46 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 1999 a must have for children of all ages! I received this CD as a gift at my baby shower and I must say it is by far my favorite. My daughter is not yet 2 months old but we listen to World Playground in the car and dance to it at home. It's upbeat and fun and she really responds to the diverse rhythms and beats. I love how the CD insert lists lyrics in English and the original languages and also includes a background of the type of ...             African Playground19 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2003 You Don't Have To Have Kids To Love This! After seeing "The Last King of Scotland" (decidedly NOT for the kiddies!!!), I desperately wanted some African music, so I went online and found "African Playground". I listened to the samples, ordered the CD, and upon receiving it, was surprised (and somewhat embarassed) to see that its intended audience was children. "Oh well," I said to my dog, "what the heck. I'm pretty immature ...             Putumayo Kids Presents: Animal Playground10 reviews Various Artists Putumayo World Music, 2007 Our Favorite So Far This album is like any other: A mix of songs. But it is the only one that our son demands over and over (he's 2). Specifically he likes the Monkey Song. My husband likes the Three Little Bears song a lot too. Not easy to find anything that will please both generations!
