This disk introduced me to many greats, including Bela Fleck, Outback, and Ottmar Liebert. If you like instrumental music, this is a GREAT sampler! Not a dud on the disk!

This review is from: Putumayo Presents The Best of World Music, Vol. 2: Instrumental (Audio CD)

This is a terrific album of world instrumental music. From American Bluegrass to East Indian, Andean to African, it is all here. It's a great place to start exploring the wide range of music that is out there. Some of the artists are pretty well known, like Loreena McKennit and Ottmar Liebert for example. Others not so well known but just as good and deserving of wider reknown. This album was one of the very first in the Putumayo series, and should be in all music lovers collections. The 11 page booklet includes info on each artist, but the booklet isn't as informative or as colourful as later Putumayo releases were to be.

If you are a fan of Putumayo, you need to add this CD to your collection. If you've never purchased a Putumayo CD, this would be a good one to start with. As Putumayo states on every CD "Guaranteed to make you feel good!"
