简介
Putumayo是个成立于美国的世界音乐厂牌,很难想像的是,它的前身竟然是个做布料的公司,1993年时才进入音乐的领域,开始卖起唱片。从卖布的到卖唱片,而且卖的又是让人不太了解的世界音乐,刚开始时的确没有人看好,如今Putumayo已经是全球最顶尖的世界音乐品牌之一,在全球有超过五十个国家代理其产品,这中间发生了什么事呢?
Putumayo成功的原因有几个
1. 世界地球村概念的兴起,世界音乐逐渐受到重视与喜爱。
2. Putumayo是首个放眼“全球观点”的音乐公司,发行的主题皆以国家、区域、音乐型态为主,而且能有系统的持续不断发行下去,并未着重及偏好在某个区域,如今全系列已经超过两百多张,而且每年还以将近二十张的速度在增加。
3. 收入作品的录音品质有很严格的标准,每张的曲目虽然不多,但录音品质都相当整齐,几乎都是近几年的新作,摆脱了大众对世界音乐可能会有“土味”的印象。
4. 选曲方向去除了艰深冷癖,皆以“比较有流行味”及“比较悦耳动听”的为主,基本上可以视为各地的流行音乐,但保留了当地传统乐器及旋律,这重要观点使Putumayo成为世界音乐入门者的最佳选择。
5. 收入的艺人作品在当地同样有相当高的知名度,这也使Putumayo的每一张主题音乐代表性十足。
6. Putumayo的音乐产品形象经营包装相当成功,每一张封面都由知名儿童画家Nicola Heindl亲笔所画,完美呈现温暖又不失民族味的质感,这一点成为全球爱乐者对该品牌最大的印象,这些封面汇集起来,真的可以办一场规模庞大的画展。
7. Putumayo自觉世界音乐不易在传统唱片通路销售,成立之初就以非传统通路为销售重点,包括餐厅、咖啡厅、民族风商店、服饰店、书店等等,这个策略不但使该厂牌接触到广大潜在市场及爱好者,也同时摆脱其他竞争者的恶意竞争,销售业绩履创新高。

Putumayo World Music presents India, a CD collection showcasing India’s rich musical variety, from traditional and acoustic music to Bollywood and electronica. India’s emergence as a global economic power has brought increased awareness of this extraordinarily diverse country’s multicultural offerings, its music foremost among them.
India’s thriving popular music scene—an adjunct to the country’s immense Bollywood film industry—is highlighted on this collection. The love ballad “Tere Bina,” from the 2007 blockbuster Guru, was written by acclaimed film composer and Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, who took home the awards in the Best Score and Best Original Song categories for his work on Best Picture Slumdog Millionaire. The song also features Chinmayee, the award-winning female playback singer (an artist who records the songs that actors lip-synch). Rajeshwari Sachdev’s “Maavan Te Tiyan,” is another hit Bollywood song from the film The Perfect Husband. Guitarist Sanjay Divecha, a Mumbai native who performed Western pop music in Los Angeles before returning home in search of his roots, contributes “Naino Sey”. The song features vocalist Kailash Kher, one of the most popular singers in India today thanks to his extensive work in Bollywood and string of pop hits.
Several stellar musicians display their Indian classical music expertise. Satish Vyas, represented by his song “Homeward Journey,” is a renowned master of the santoor, or Indian hammered dulcimer. Deepak Ram (“Ganesha”) is a virtuoso of the bansuri (Indian flute), while Bombay Jayashri (“Zara Zara”) specializes in the Carnatic South Indian vocal tradition.
Taking Indian music in a new direction, evocative British/Indian singer-songwriter Susheela Raman blends her South Indian classical music training with Western jazz and acoustic folk influences in “Nagumomo.” Kiran Ahluwalia, a Canadian vocalist of Indian descent, offers a fresh take on India’s poetic ghazal (love song) tradition through the moving “Vo Kuch.” Kiran worked for Putumayo World Music for three years before pursuing a professional music career.
Finally, Uma Mohan’s ode to the Hindu god Shiva, “Shiva Panchakshara Stotram/Shiva Shadakshara Stotram,” exemplifies the spiritual aspect of Indian music that has appealed to Western musicians ever since the Beatles embraced the sitar and transcendental meditation. These days, Indian devotional music is used by millions of practitioners of yoga and meditation around the world.
