Putumayo Kids

About Me


Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures. The label grew out of the Putumayo clothing company, founded by Dan Storper in 1975 and sold in 1997.
In the past ten years, Putumayo World Music has become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great international music characterized by the company's motto: "Guaranteed to make you feel good!" In 1999, Putumayo also launched the Putumayo World Music Hour , the first commercially syndicated world music program available on more than 120 commercial and non-commercial stations in the United States, Canada and around the world.
The Putumayo Kids division was created in late 2002 to introduce children to other cultures through fun, upbeat world music. The Playground series of children's CDs and multicultural activity kits have won national acclaim and numerous awards.
