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 Roden

Suprise!.......2007-01-25

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.

How can you have this CD w/o an Ethiopian contribution.......2007-01-14

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.

Not strong enough-this compilation is decaf.......2006-06-15

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.

Chill out with a cup of coffee or a Mojito.............2005-08-05

Good Putumayo CD. Several very good tracks on this CD. 'Guajira Bonita' is fantastic, and reminds me of my trip to Peru hiking the Inca trail. Tracks 2, 3 are good as well, and then proceed to the wonderful Susana Baca with her bold, beautiful voice on 'Maria Lando'. 'Below the Bassline' is a wonderfully mellow Reggae sounding instrumental track that brings me back to all carribbean trips. 'Dilema' reminds me of my salsa adventure to Cuba, and 'Esa Noche' is a very good instrumental track with fantastic guitar that makes me yearn for returning to Mexico City or Oaxaca. Track 9, 10 are good as well. 'Este Son' will help you chill out with your cup of coffee. Highly recommend this CD if you enjoy Latin music, as well as international music. The pamphlet submitted with the CD about the artists is informtive and only adds to the enjoyment of the CD. A Putumayo Must!

One of the best world music compilataions I've heard.......2004-01-25

Amazing collection of songs - not one is a throwaway. If you're looking to break into "world music" the Putumayo collections are a great starting point.

Album Description

With Un Fuego de Sangre Pura (A Fire of Pure Blood), the roots of the cumbia thrive in the music of Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto from Colombia's violence-torn Caribbean hinterlands. The sounds of long-tubed gaita flutes, unique drums, and maraca stoke the fire of the cumbia and of other regional dances--the fast-paced puya and porro, the cadential gaita corrida, and the bullerengue. Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, the senior statesmen of their tradition, are an animated emblem of Colombian nationhood and a resilient fountainhead for some of Latin America's favorite dance rhythms. ¡OYE! 32-page booklet with bi-lingual liner notes, 14 tracks, and over an hour of music!

A fire of pure blood.......2006-11-02

This is one of the best recordings of pure "roots" music from the colombian caribbean coast.The music and singing is full of the raw emotion of its african,indigenous and spanish heritage.Highly recommended for fans of autochthonous latin american music.

Album Description

The marimba is a vivid legacy of African presence in Latin America, but only on the Pacific coast of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador does it keep its close connections to a strongly African culture. Hailing from small towns along the river-ridden Colombian coast, the seasoned women singers of Grupo Naidy raise their voices to the accompaniment of marimba and drums, performing their unique styles of music known collectively as currulao. 36-page booklet, bi-lingual notes, photos, 54 minutes.

Go ahead and buy it........2000-10-10

This CD avoids the formulaic monotony of so much of the pop-Cumbia and Merengue that's cranked out nowadays, with a unique sound that breathes new life into old standards. The instrumentation is not entirely typical, featuring the bandola (a kind of a lute), guitar and some flute rather than the more standard clarinet or accordion. The mix of Cumbia and Merengue makes for a great party-dance tape. At the same time, the high quality of the musicianship, the arrangements , and the clarity of the recording make for a great listening experience. These are obviously excellent musicians who put a lot of thought and love into what they do.

Expresa la alegria y expontaneidad del sentir del pueblo Colombiano al igual de su folclor y belleza. Revive el sentimiento y amor por lo nuestro y da una clara imagen de lo bueno y natural que tenemos al exterior.

Album Description

This CD features a collection of songs by three ensembles of Gaïteros recorded live on tour in Europe and Colombia. The music of the Gaïteros blends the Indian gaita flutes and the African alegre drums with versified Creole songs, sometimes sustained by an alto sax or a clarinet. Cumbia, porro, puya, faroto, and merengue are the result of the blending of the mystical melodies of Caribbean origin with African rhythms. Nature, humor, and erotic games are some of the many themes of these songs.
