"Congo to Cuba" - the Putumayo records* compilation - is no longer in stock by the label, but we used to sell it here, and it contains so many awesome memories from last year, including "Safiatou" by Mama Sissoko and "Yiri Yiri Boum" by Gnonnas Pedro. It makes us happy and want to dance with the Problem Solver (see first post) and drink Turkish tea (see previous post). If you come in our Tucson store these late summer days chances are you'll find us jamming out to these West African and Cuban rhythms while arranging some new wood and ceramic scupltures from Kenya, Guinea, and Mexico. Paz en El Barrio...Perdido!!
*Our store does have plenty of newer Putumayo records CD's in stock including "Latin Beat" and "African Beat" that will quench that musical thirst! Check out www.peoplesimports.com for more info about these and our other items.
