Putumayo World Music has teamed with the non-profit organization United for Colombia in a fundraising effort to help rehabilitate child victims of landmines in the Putumayo River valley and throughout Colombia. Putumayo will contribute $1 from the sale of each Radio Latino CD to United for Colombia to benefit the country that now has the second highest number of landmine victims in the world after Afghanistan.
On Radio Latino, Putumayo – named after the aforementioned river valley - returns to its Latin roots with this collection of contemporary musicians standing at the forefront of the thriving “Rock en Espanol/Latin Alternative” movement. Most of these musicians are household names within their home countries, but have yet to realize their full potential in the rest of the world.
