putumayo... colombia CD.......2007-03-09

If you like Bolivian/Colombian music.. you will love this. Every cut is terrific.

My best Columbian CD!.......2006-10-03

First of all, I own over 400 Latin music CDs because I have a true and devoted appreciation to all Latin American countries being hispanic. But I have to say that it's the Colombian music that always has the magic of simultaneously making my feet dance and touch my heart with its superb beat and lyrics. Of course, I have yet to be disappointed with a Putamayo CD but this one hits home. If you want to get a real taste of the different beats that Columbia has to offer - "Vallenato", "cumbia", "porro", "salsa" from TOP artists, you must get this. To top it all off, each of the artists/bands listed has their own collection of incredible hits. Dan Storper (CEO) not only offers historical information about Colombia in the enclosed booklet, but he also includes background stories of each artist. I bought this at full price when living in NY so this is an even better deal. By the way, if you are ever in NY, check out Chibcha - this Columbian night club has lasted for so many years - they always play good oldies and contemporary Colombian as well as other latino music. Don't forget to check out the collections of the artists listed. Enjoy!

Wonderful.......2002-10-15

This is probably my favourite Putumayo collection. I have several of them, and have played them all many times, but this one most of all. The music is uplifting, though one cannot help but think of the troubled country from which it comes. This helps you understand the spirit of the people themselves. My favourite track is the very well known Fiesta de Negritos, and the version included here is full of vigour and passion. If this kind of music is new to you then I certainly suggest taking a chance on it. Very highly recommended.

¡Que viva Colombia!.......2002-07-29

This CD was great. The artwork and information about the artists are almost as good. I think people should buy this compilation to learn more about Colombia and to embrace it's beautiful culture even though the country has problems. Colombianos are some hardworking, great people. There is so much more that people cannot see. If you like this, buy anything buy Carlos Vives, Carolina Lao, and Yolanda Rayo who are all Colombian artists. Aýn que no soy colombiana tengo mucho respeto para la comunidad colombiana y su cultura hermosa. Quisiera dar respeto a mi gente colombiana de Medellin, Cali, Bogotý, y mýs. Paz y respeto, parceros...

What a great album!.......2002-06-04

I bought this because I am getting to know a couple from Colombia. Although I had heard Salsa and some other Carribean music, I didn't expect to enjoy this album so much. It has a nice variety that flows together well. I just keep going back to it, singing with some of it, dancing with my baby son inn my arms.
