Free Music Notes for Music from the Coffee Lands
Free Music Review: A nice way to start off the morning
Hit: 4 Stars
I recently started getting into the Putumayo series after I heard the Paris compilation. I was immediately hooked and now have started checking out the other cds in the series. MUSIC FROM THE COFFEE LANDS is my latest acquisition. While MUSIC FROM THE COFFEE LANDS may not be my favorite compilation, I certainly enjoyed listening to its international flavor. Most of the songs are latin based but there are a track here and there that are African and even Hawaiian. As I sit here typing my review while drinking a cup of joe and listening to this cd, I am imaging myself in a field picking coffee beans. I find the music very soothing tp the human soul. I definitely agree with one reviewer who questioned why there isn't any music from Ethiopia featured on the compilation given the origins of the almighty and addictive coffee bean. Overall I enjoyed MUSIC FROM THE COFFEE LANDS. It is a nice change of pace from the dark, heavy music I listen to on a regular basis.
Music from the Coffee Lands Poster
The artists gathered together here hail from nations and cultures noted for the growing and export of coffee. As with this CD's companion release, Music from the Tea Lands, one senses the possibility of lucrative product tie-ins, but part of the proceeds from the album are earmarked for charity and any catchy idea that gets the music out there is a good thing. Like the luscious drink itself, the tunes come in many intensities and flavors, ranging from a light-as-air ditty from Peru, to the more complex vocal stylings of Colombia's Claudia Gomez, to Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca's earthy Afro-Cuban Congolese rumba. The album is a lively and fascinating travelogue, making landfall in Cuba, Kenya, Brazil, Uganda, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and Peru. As with many other Putumayo projects, aside from its musical pleasures, this set would make an entertaining and educational experience for younger family members. --Christina RodenInternational Music CDs
