VARIOS INTERPRETES MUSIC FROM THE COFFEE LANDSThe artists gathered together here hail from nations and cultures noted for the growing and export of coffee. As with this CD’s companion release, Music from the Tea Lands, one senses the possibility of lucrative product tie-ins, but 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. –Christina Roden

Chill out with a cup of coffee or a Mojito…… Good Putumayo CD. Several very good tracks on this CD. ‘Guajira Bonita’ is fantastic, and reminds me of my trip to Peru hiking the Inca trail. Tracks 2, 3 are good as well, and then proceed to the wonderful Susana Baca with her bold, beautiful voice on ‘Maria Lando’. ‘Below the Bassline’ is a wonderfully mellow Reggae sounding instrumental track that brings me back to all carribbean trips. ‘Dilema’ reminds me of my salsa adventure to Cuba, and ‘Esa Noche’ is a very good instrumental track with…
