简介

Various Artists专辑介绍:Putumayo returns to its Latin American roots to begin its 20th anniversary celebrations with the release of Café Latino, which features leading singer-songwriters from Latin America and Spain. With the September 24th release of Café Latino, Putumayo returns to its Latin American roots to begin celebrating its 20th anniversary. The collection features exceptional singer-songwriters from throughout the Latin world, extensive cultural liner notes and, as with 17 other Putumayo releases, a regional recipe, this time for a Venezuelan dark flan. The collection was also inspired by the spirit of the tertulia, informal gatherings at bars, cafés and living rooms where music is often played and poetry and literary discourse occurs. Café Latino brings together contemporary singer-songwriters from Latin America and Spain. Most of the artists featured on this collection grew up listening to Latin America’s Nueva Cancion (New Song) movement, a hallmark revolution in music that reached its peak in the politically turbulent era of the 1960’s and 70’s. Others were exposed to American folk, pop and jazz either at home or in their travels abroad. All contribute to a musically rich mix of sound that reflects the heritage of their homelands. Many of the artists on Café Latino come from musical families or have international family roots. Born in Venezuela, singer-songwriter Sacha Hildago aka Sacha Nairobi, is also a member of a family band featuring her father and brothers. Amanda Martinez, renowned in Canada, was born to parents of Mexican and South African descent. Her song “Alcoba Azul,” has Argentinian tango influences. Jose Conde, mixes his Cuban roots and Miami upbringing to present the mid-tempo El Avion. The 10 artists on the collection represent a fascinating overview of the contemporary Latin singer-songwriter scene.
