How does Putumayo decide what projects to release?
There are a number of factors that go into Putumayo’s decisions regarding what compilations to release. We try to select themes that will have broad appeal and that cover an area of particular musical and cultural interest. We also try to balance out our annual release schedule with a diverse mix of titles that cover a wide range of musical genres. Putumayo World Music’s goal is to introduce people to other cultures through melodic, upbeat music from around the world.
