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.Free Music Review: the best of my collection
Hit: 5 Stars
I have thousands of CD's, this is my favorite, and the only Cd I have ever rated in Amazon, if you like latin music, buy it, also I cant believe how cheap it sells usedFree Music Review: Suprise!
Hit: 5 Stars
Having just gotten into collecting world music rather than just listening to it on the radio....I am more than pleased with my latest acquisition of Coffee Lands music. The music on this CD is totally mellow. Every song on it is a keeper. If you want something different, this is a CD to consider.Free Music Review: How can you have this CD w/o an Ethiopian contribution
Hit: 3 Stars
Am I missing something? This CD does not have any Ethiopian music? I'm a bit perplexed by that seeing as coffee originated in Ethiopia.Free Music Review: Not strong enough-this compilation is decaf
Hit: 2 Stars
If this album is like coffee,it's decaf.It lacks the punch to keep one awake for an early morning drive.I'd be asleep at the wheel.
I used to have this CD,but I took it to a used CD store.
Its few highlights are Susana Baca,Ernest Ranglin,Thomas Mapfumo,James 'Bla'Pahinui&Ayub Ogada.The rest are easy-listening Buena Vista Social Club.
When it comes to Putumayo's themed compilations,I reccomend "Gardens of Eden" (sadly,it's out of print),"Music from the Tea Lands"(EXCELLENT!),"Asian Lounge".I am looking forward to "Music from the Wine Lands"--considering I live in the Wine Country.Hopefully,"Music from the Wine Lands" won't be snooze-inducing like this one.
