Putumayo World Music
was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures. The label grew out of the Putumayo clothing company, founded by Dan Storper in 1975 and sold in 1997.
In the past ten years, Putumayo World Music has become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great international music characterized by the company's motto: "Guaranteed to make you feel good!"In 1999, Putumayo also launched the Putumayo World Music Hour, the first commercially syndicated world music program available on more than 120 commercial and non-commercial stations in the United States, Canada and around the world.
The Putumayo Kids division was created in late 2002 to introduce children to other cultures through fun, upbeat world music. The Playground series of children's CDs and multicultural activity kits have won national acclaim and numerous awards.

Amigos de Putumayo kids: Gracias por el ADD. Quiero felicitarles por la iniciativa de incluir música destinada al mundo infantil en un catálogo tan importante como el vuestro. Comencé cantando canciones infantiles, y ,aunque ahora me muevo por otros caminos creativos, esta actividad forma parte de mi quehacer diario en la escuela. Por eso sé que toda iniciativa para la infancia es poca...¡Adelante! Aquí os dejo un vídeo con una de las canciones de mi último trabajo para niños/as, "En el País de los Sueños". Saludos cordiales desde Canarias. Ima
Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends!
We've just added two new blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our space. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too.
We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy.
Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other.
We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large.
What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
thank you for making this compilations! african playground is especially useful for children with ADHD because its very rich with rhythm and sounds and that eases their work on tasks when they have to sit down and draw or write. just keep up the good work! greetings from croatia!
