Album Description |
|
A remarkable revolution is taking place in Latin music these days, as electronica and remixing meet the more traditional rhythms of Argentinean tango, Afro-Cuban son, Brazilian bossa nova and Colombian cumbia. On Putumayo’s new collection, Latin Lounge artists such as Sidestepper, Si*Sé, Charanga Cakewalk and others prove that there can be a magical blend of modern musical trends and traditional Latin styles. While Latin Lounge features several internationally known artists, it also highlights discoveries such as Bebe, a singer-songwriter whose recent collaboration with electronica DJ Carl Jean has made her a star in her native Spain. Another rising star is the Spanish band Amparanoia, a leading band in the mestizo (mixed) movement, so-called for its boundary-crossing blend of flamenco, Afro-Cuban music, hip-hop, electronica and other influences. Latin Lounge is the latest in a series of successful Putumayo releases focusing on exciting new directions in down tempo electronica and world music that includes the collections World Lounge, Euro Lounge and Sahara Lounge. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Oxfam America in support of their development efforts in South America. |

DO NOT PASS UP THIS DISC! |
I bought this disc for my gf on a whim, since she generally loves Latin rhythms, and I sure lucked out: this disc is fabulous! This is some of the best driving music too; very relaxing, yet lively enough to keep you awake.
It's hard to recommend this too much, it's just *that* good! |

I Love This Series |
|
I have this CD and a few others. Every now and then I like to check for new releases. What I would like to know is WHERE ARE THE TRACK SAMPLES???!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?? I listen to songs before I decide to buy, so if you want to sell a CD, then put them back. |

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. |

Putumayo's best to date |
|
Of all my Putumayo cd's, this is definitely my favourite. I can listen to this one over and over and over... Perfect for a chilled party, a long drive on a Sunday afternoon, a candlelight dinner, or any other worthy occasion. I just love Sueno Mama by Roberto Poveda, and Mariposa by Si Se. After listening to the artists on the album I have bought many of their original recordings. It opened a whole new world of Latin Music to me. You definitely won't regret buying this album. |
