Women of Latin America
Putumayo
There are some superb talents present on this 11-track salute to South American women. Particularly strong are two women from Mexico who give traditional music a decidedly contemporary interpretation – Lila Downs’ lovely and sad ballad “Iconocuicatl” and Lhasa’s haunting ranchera on wanderlust, “La Frontera.” Also exciting: Peru’s Susana Baca’s Afro-Peruvian fusion and Colombia’s Toto La Momposina’s mix of Spanish, African and Colombian music. As with other of Putumayo’s, this is a lovely introduction to a diverse group of artists.
