Spotlight on a Label
Putumayo_2

With years of experience combing the world for great music that's "guaranteed to make you feel good," we're pleased to launch our first digital releases African Beat, Latin Beat, Acoustic Caf� and Celtic Christmas. The Beat releases represent an evolution of Putumayo's contemporary groove series.  

 

Acoustic Caf� follows in the footsteps of our successful Acoustic and Caf� series. Celtic Christmas combines beautiful Celtic voices and instrumentation with Christmas classics in the spirit of Putumayo's past Celtic and Christmas releases. Together they represent a broad cross-section of Putumayo's global musical journeys.

 

We're pleased to have found a wonderful partner in The Source to launch our digital releases in Europe.
