Salsa Around the World

CD Details

Salsa Around the World is a 2003 world music compilation from Putumayo World Music that explores how salsa and Latin jazz have evolved across the globe. Born from Cuban and Puerto Rican roots blended with American big band sounds, salsa emerged in New York during the 1970s and has since inspired musicians worldwide to add their own regional flavors. This collection features various international artists who reimagine the genre through their local traditions, from European ensembles incorporating folk instruments to Asian groups infusing the sound with their own musical heritage.

This CD contains eleven tracks including El Sol De La Noche, Malaniña, Ban Sali, Forest Flower, Rapada, Anna Maria, Mana Janab Ne Pukara Nahin, Ignane, Flores Y Tambores, Te Dikalo, and Ruñidera, blending mambo, salsa, and Latin jazz styles. Released by Putumayo World Music, the album runs approximately 48 minutes and offers a diverse sonic journey across continents.
