Putumayo Presents: Travel the World with Putumayo
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The title is Travel the World with Putumayo, and they're not kidding. The fine folks at Putumayo traveled far and wide to put together this compilation of world-music videos, the first in a proposed series. A couple of the nations represented include Congo, via Los Angeles-based Ricardo Lemvo's "Mamba Yo Yo" (filmed in his beloved Cuba), and Brazil, via local favorite Chico César with the award-winning "Mama Africa." And when is the last time you heard anything from Guinea-Bissau? (Flamenco-influenced singer-songwriter Bidinte does the honors.) Highlights include the Gotan Project's black-and-white tango fantasia for "Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)" and Hisham Abbas' Bollywood-flavored "Nari Nari." The DVD also features clips of Oliver Mtukudzi and Habib Koité live in concert, along with short, but informative biographies of each artist. And, unlike the experiencing of listening to this music on CD, all the videos are subtitled (even the liner notes are in several languages). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Travel with Putumayo is fun!.......2006-03-13
WOW!.......2004-06-08
My favorite is Brazilian Chico C?sar with the award-winning "Mama Africa." The video begins with a shot of his parents telling the camera what a good boy he was as a child...it looked like a scene from one of my own childhood home movies! Which I think is the gift of this DVD...it connects us.
By the way, for those who might wonder if this is one of those sappy "we are all friends" kind of things that only appeals to parents and kids below the age of 6...wonder no more. The music is exciting, the visuals arresting, and it's sure to appeal to any age.
