Putumayo Presents/various

Global Fusion Music Collective

Putumayo Presents is not an individual artist, composer, or band, but rather a record label known for its eclectic compilations of music from around the world. The label was founded in 1993 by Dan Storper, who was inspired by his passion for music and travel. Putumayo's mission is to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures. They have become well-known for their thematic collections that often focus on a particular region, genre, or theme—such as "Jazz Christmas" and "Acoustic Paris," which showcase holiday jazz tunes and acoustic music from Parisian artists, respectively.
