Valoración: GREAT
New work coming from Putumayo Records, which follow their policy of publishing world music If I am not wrong, it is the fifth one specially devoted to blues music This time their main purpose is to reflect the influence blues has had all over the world, so you will find blues coming from different distant countries From the Spanish musician Victor Uris or Jarabe de Palo Band, the Argentinian Botafogo, and the Brazilian Blues Etilicos, to Taiwan band Long-ge or Mauritanian singer and guitar player Amar Sundy In addition, you will also find some more popular names, such as Otis Spann or Taj Majal plus contemporary blues musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Eric Bibb, Rory Block and Maria Muldaur This is a good record to get familiar with high quality artists who exist too and should deserve more recognition and popularity
