Everything's racist these days.  It's beginning to lose meaning.  His attitude is narrow, insular, parochial and perhaps bigoted, but not racist.

Hate monger!!!!  I can tell by your sarcasm that you are a white guy, oppressor of the world, of women, of minorities, of culture, education and hairdos.  I bet you own guns.  I bet you expect people to work hard to be self sufficient.  How dare you judge the world!!!  If people like you would get out of the way or just die then all of us educated, well-read and peaceful people would come together and solve the world's problems.Of course "inclusion" and "cultural respect" does not mean inclusion of white people; they are a blight on the earth.  Duh!  Everybody who has been educated in a public school knows that!  Where have you been?
  Wow you can tell all this from 18 words! And I just thought the guy was a clown.

The album title says "Many Cultures." White people don't have any culture.
 

And yet Moonlight Sonata is rated number 1 by Radio Paradise listeners.

Putumayo is archetypal world music, but the term no longer really applies as a genre. Music these days is a river of regional currents all mixing together in a global market, but representing still distinct traditions. Rock, for instance, is but a drop in the bucket.

Your sarcasm is noted, and I applaud you for your righteous indignation.  More of us need to speak out on these issues.  It's all part of the same liberal conspiracy that's hell-bent on limiting our options in life.  Examples, you say?  Just go to any American college campus today and you can see lots of offerings for so-called "liberal arts".  But where are the Conservative Arts degrees, I ask you?!  If I want to take courses like "The Poor: America's Great Untapped Food Source" or "Town Hall Etiquette 101" (featuring special guest lecturers Ann Coulter and the shambling re-animated corpse of William F. Buckley), then that by God is my right as an American citizen!  It's all part of the same conspiracy!  Damn you, Putumayo, DAMN YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE WROUGHT!!

When you move from Paris, the first thing, feeling you'll miss is Africa. In Paris (I mean the real one not the presidential one) Africa is everywhere. I love Africa. And after you'll hear the mixing cultures. Fascinating.

Whoa there! Thou dost protest too much!  You will not bring others over to your side by vicious attacks. Then again, I hope that you are joking and that you are just trying to show how ridiculous over reaction can really appear.  The no white guy on the cover comment is a bit lame I must admit. Love the music!

you can thank the label for the folk art. all the PUTAMAYO world music CDs sport this kind of cover, if not the exact same artist, which actually (for me at least) makes their CDs very visible in the shops — along with their frequent use of special PUTAMAYO-only racks placed strategically around stores.

just like the rainbow spine along the REALWORLD CDs put out by Peter Gabriel's production label.

which, all in all, i think is smart marketing. even glancing through a CD rack i can right away tell where the good "world music" (so-called) is, because after well over a decade of listening to the genre i've come to deeply trust those labels to provide me with excellent grooves and sounds.

out of the 40 or so REALWORLD albums i've picked up since the early 90s, i think there are only two i don't listen to anymore. and where PUTAMAYO is concerned, none of their CDs have spiraled out of the slow rotation of the musical galaxy i continue to enjoy year after year.

Nope. Sounds like the omnipresent Chilean flutist groups found at every outdoor mall, complete with CDs for sale and tip jar.
 

First, those groups are usually from Ecuador and other places in the Andes mountains...Incas. Second, Baka Beyond takes its influence from African sounds. Altrogether, a totally ridiculous statement.

Well this is nice! Reminds me a little of "Son De La Frontera"... only heard one song of them during a demonstration of a hifi-system for 300.000 euros. Kind of kicked ass :D

A lot of rythm.. acoustic, spanish and some footstamping... wohoi!
