I've been a putumayo fan for ages now. Even though I find the label "world music" a bit ambiguous...isn't all music "world" music??
anyway, if you're new to putumayo's compilations, I gess it's safe to recomend this one as a starter.
The song I liked the most was Bid featuring Seu Jorge (one of the brazilian artists I like the most at the moment) : "e depois..." which is a smooth and jazzy tune that talks about what will eventually happen after two lovers meet, talk, listen to a cd and kiss...
Here's the track listing:
1. Brigas Nunca Mais - Paula Morelenbaum
2. Meu Esquema - Mundo Livre
3. Ha Dias - Luca Mundaca
4. Previsao - Bossacucanova
5. Agua De Coco - Marcos Valle
6. Mariana - Bia
7. Parece Mentira - Katia B
8. E Depois... - Bid feat Seu Jorge
9. August Day Song (Remixed By King Britt) - Bebel Gilberto
10. Como Vou Fazer (Remix) - Dois Irmaos
11. Os Grilos - Marcela
12. Saudade Fez Um Samba - Marissa
RIAA this if you like every artist in this compil, and lounge in general...
7/10 This is a great lounge compilation. Get it, period.
