Fresno Bee, World-music label sends Latinas on tour >>

Even in today’s multitasking age, few labels are putting together and promoting their own package tours.

            But specialty label Putumayo World Music is doing just that in support of its compilation “Women of Latin America,” released last week. 

            The album, which comprises 11 tracks sung by eclectic Latina singers from around the world, will be accompanied by a 30-city U.S. tour, Putumayo Presents Latinas: Women of Latin America. It will kick off Oct. 8 at the Grand Opera House in Washington, D.C., and run through Nov. 23.  (In California, the tour will be at the University of California at Los Angeles on Nov. 4, UC San Irvine on Nov. 6, UC San Diego on Nov. 7, UC Santa Barbara on Nov. 10 and UC Davis on Nov. 21.)
