Putumayo has transformed the American music landscape by making World Music accessible and fun for everyone. They do a wonderful job of finding great music and presenting it without westernizing or dumbing it down. They are original songs as they are performed and enjoyed in the countries they come from.

Of all their titles, this collection is our favorite. Full of complicated rhythms and fun lyrics, the songs are upbeat and guaranteed to get the whole family dancing. It's another album that seems to chase bad moods away.
