Most of Putumayo's compilations have focused on a specific area of world music -- perhaps Celtic music, perhaps Brazilian samba, perhaps Mediterranean music. Typically, Putumayo will stretch things as far as they can; if the focus is salsa, for example, Putumayo will do something delightfully orthodox like unearthing Scottish and Japanese salseros. But there is still a concrete, well-defined theme no matter how far Putumayo twists and bends that theme. On World Party, however, the theme isn't as concrete; this time, the theme is world music that Putumayo loosely defines as "party music." The liner notes explain that this 2007 release consists of recordings that Putumayo really liked but couldn't "find a place for on current projects." But if World Party is a collection of odds and ends, they are pleasing odds and ends. The term "party music" can mean a wide variety of things, and on this 44-minute CD, it means everything from reggae (Burning Spear's "Walk") to Haitian compas (Orchestra Tropicana D'Haiti's "Gason Total") to zydeco (Beau Jocque's "Just One Kiss") to Afro-funksters Osibisa's 1976 hit "Sunshine Day" (which is the compilation's oldest recording and probably its most famous). True to form, Putumayo unearths some very unorthodox material. "Ciuri Ciuri," for example, is trumpeter Roy Paci's unlikely ska arrangement of a traditional Sicilian folk song -- and on "Mindé Sè," one hears Laurent Hounsavi performing salsa in the Fon language of Benin. Full of surprises, this rewarding, if brief, disc is among the many Putumayo releases that world music enthusiasts need to be aware of. ~ Alex Henderson

Putumayo Presents: World Party album
CD $10.69  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Putumayo's bread and butter lies in Latin releases, and as they get bigger they also seem to get better at picking out a proper variety that can meld together into a coherent compilation while still retaining the ideal of being particularly worldly. Here, they do it again with an omnipresent groove. The pieces here clump pretty closely around the Cuban styles, but the bands are as far flung as one would expect from Putumayo. The album opens with a slick number from Raul Paz, a Cuban living in Paris. Senegalese son follows quickly, performed ...

Putumayo Presents: World Party CD music
CD $14.55  Audio Samples
This best-of is an unconventional one -- though its type is becoming increasingly less so as the 21st century immerses itself in nostalgia from Tish Hinojosa. The recordings were done with a reunion band at the Cactus Café in Austin in 2002. There are 17 songs here, 15 of which come from albums she recorded on four different labels and cover the period from 1980-2002. Along with her regular band, which includes the truly gifted Marvin Dykhuis on all things with strings, pianist Danny Levin, Marty Muse on pedal steel, percussionist Arturo Garza, Glenn Kawamoto on bass, and drummer Bob Madden, there is a guest appearance by the incomparable Santiago ...
