MUSIC WEEK: Putumayo
There are three of Putamayo’s latest that we are really loving both in my home and in my classroom.
Putamayo South Africa is a collection that celebrates the rich musical diversity of this unique country at the southern tip of Africa. With the soccer World Cup taking place for the first time on African soil last year, international attention was focused on South Africa and its postapartheid status as a democracy and economic powerhouse. What a great way to introduce your family to the wonder of Africa!
Putumayo Latin Party is perhaps their most diverse Latin release yet. The mesmerizing grooves and tantalizing rhythms of Latin music have been leading people to the dance floor for decades and this CD is no exception. You can’t help but start to move your hips when the music starts to play! It includes a mix of boogaloo, funk, cumbia, son, salsa, ska and dancehall.
Putumayo Yoga is Putumayo’s first CD release featuring songs selected to accompany yoga practice and serve as a relaxing soundtrack for daily life. It’s a perfect combination of relaxing and energizing.
