5.0 out of 5 stars celebration, November 17, 2001

This review is from: Women of Spirit (Audio CD)

This is a compilation of celebratory music. It's what we are here for, to celebrate, rejoice, say thank you. This music from all corners of the world will unite sisters, neighbours, co-workers, daughters-in-law, those who will never meet. It cuts national barriers, sexual barriers, most importantly political barriers. We are here for this, to target peoples' ears and hearts nothing else. Women of spirit we call on you to sing your heart out. No-one ever bought a CD of the sound of bombs. We would have missed the point. Sing with your voices, move your fingers on your guitars, buy this CD and clap.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye-opener, August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Women of Spirit (Audio CD)

While the Putumayo collections vary from the sublime to the "Huh?", this one is a winner. I was already familiar with the pop and Celtic artists, but most of the other tracks were a revelation: wonderful music is being produced in odd little corners of the world (such as the Canary Islands), and some ancient musical traditions (such as blacks in Peru) are virtually unknown outside their native turf. I'd never have known this music existed if it weren't for this CD, and I applaud Putumayo for having assembled such an amazing collection. (But I have to agree that the Ani DiFranco song was a poor choice. She's a fine musician and a good songwriter, but in between Ima Galguen's and Savina Yannatou's ethereal selections, hers stands out like a Mohawk hairdo at King Arthur's Court.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great background or driving music!, December 15, 2002

This CD was given to me as a gift, and I must admit, I was a little skeptical. Much to my surpirse and delight, it's a fabulous CD with a mix of world influences. I'm in the process of tracking down entire albums from some of the artists on Women of Spirit.
