Putumayo Blend: Music of the Coffee Lands
The artists gathered together here hail from nations and cultures noted for the growing and export of
coffee. Part of the proceeds from the album are earmarked for charity and
any catchy idea that gets the music out there is a good thing. Like the luscious drink itself, the tunes
come in many intensities and flavors, ranging from a light-as-air ditty from Peru, to the more complex
vocal stylings of Colombia's Claudia Gomez, to Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca's earthy
Afro-Cuban Congolese rumba. The album is a lively and fascinating travelogue, making landfall in
Cuba, Kenya, Brazil, Uganda, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and Peru. As with many
other Putumayo projects, aside from its musical pleasures, this set would make an entertaining and
educational experience for younger family members.
