Not the usual mix.......2007-01-13

Putamayo recordings are a bit different from the mainstream music of a culture- they are known for their research into getting more of the heart and soul of music of a region rather than the top/pop stuff that everyone knows. This is true of this item. Enjoyable to listen to and dance. The tape was included in a gift basket of Mexican food given to friends. They called me while they were cooking and enjoying the music in the background.

Mexico by various Artists.......2006-11-09

My mother had bought this album after we had heard it in a store we were at. We instantly loved this CD. Being of Mexican heritage we know a lot of mexican music and we equally love this one. My favorite is the Ramon Ayala song.

Viva Mexico !.......2005-07-08

I played this CD for a friend and he was surprised that first there wasn't a mariachi and even more surprising for him is that not all songs are sung in spanish. And he really loved it and commented on how beautiful the songs are. " Rogaciano " he recognized because I play Miguel Aceves Mejia all the time. This CD is a nice sampling of music from different parts of Mexico. I really love this CD, the songs are beautiful, a nice CD for those who collect world music but also for those who want to learn more about Mexico and it's diversity. Mexico has so much culture to offer and it's a shame that Mexicans are stereotyped a lot in the US, I'm happy that I have met some people who are interested in learning more about Mexico and it's wonderful people and cultures. It is a great loss for those who don't bother because Mexico is so rich in culture and tradition. I am saying this not only because I am of Mexican descent but because I realize that everything that I love, the traditions, the culture, the people, the music, the food and everything that makes me who I am is MEXICAN

A basic 'must'.......2004-11-18

No one style of music defines Mexico - and no one style dominates the lovely various artists introduction MEXICO by Putumayo: indeed, the intent here is to represent a range of styles and new artists, and in this Putumayo's MEXICO succeeds beyond expectations.
An accompanying booklet in both English and Spanish explores the fusions and styles of Mexican sound from the ballad corrido to the ranchera.
ýMEXICO is a basic 'must', serving as a winning introduction to any collection: if only one Mexican compilation were to be considered, it should be Putumayo's MEXICO.

Nice Introduction.......2004-08-31

If you are looking to buy one CD on Mexico for your global music collection....this is probably one of the very best. Other compilations & Mexican radio in the U.S. present a misleading picture of Mexican music being dominated by Mariachi and Norteno music.

This album gives an unusually big space to music of Central & Southern Mexico, where most Mexicans actually reside...so in many ways it is much more representative of Mexico then Mariachi & Norteno dominated compilations.

Nonetheless, Mexico is way too varied & complex to be put on 1 CD. For example, this CD is completely devoid of Yucatecan Jaranas (kind of a cross between Mexican Sones & New Orleans Rags executed by brass bands). But, it is a high quality compilation that serves as a very good building block for your Mexico collection.
