Putumayo Presents Italia

A new sound for Putumayo? This time around we have soft, singer-songwriter mellow music to drink with a glass of wine and a good meal of eggplant parmigiana, with a side of Penne ‘Al Brucio’ (the recipe is included in the booklet that accompanies the CD). The music reflects how much modern Italian music has been influenced by the regional musics of South America. The percussive accents prove the influence goes both ways, so the Putumayo world party flavors make for gentle excitement on the new CD. Shoutout for the treat by Rocco De Rossa called Iquique, which borrows spices from all the shores along the Mediterranean.
