nice sample of modern Indian music,

This review is from: India (Audio CD)
A nice album with mostly modern India music. The sound is definitely Indian and the selections are very well chosen. I wouldn't recommend this album for meditation even though the songs are calm. A very good album to play to get the Indian mood. You won't be deceived with this very good album.

Currently Ancient,
By Jay Tobias (jay_tobias@yahoo.com) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: India (Audio CD)
The colorful tapestry of the cover drew me to this disc in surprising ways that I discovered upon listening, and not surprisingly, it has become my favorite purchase of this year in a short time. While retaining the forms of traditional India music and instruments (tabla, sitar) it combines tastefully with synthesizers, flute and guitar to incorporate themes of current and other cultures, specifically a jazz fusion style reminiscent of Al di Meola, ballads, to name a few, and the color interplay of the drone, highly melodic sitar and tabla, and spirited vocals that carry one away on a sea of pleasant wistful sonority. It reminds of me of being in Australia in 1988 for the Pacific Festival of the Arts and hearing the sitar when Fiji came on, wondering if the south pacific had shifted for a moment! All elements combine to form a holistic and spontaneously joyful music experience. To the extent that the CD cover and music within share these elements, their impact mirrors that of the sort of cultural olympics and realizing that Indian music reaches out far beyond its native land, even in the south pacific. How much the more so with this collection of tunes that embody the timbres of newer electronic instruments and current patterns while remaining true to its original form, distinctly native and embracing accesible trends in a meaningful way. Covering a broad swath, Putumayo once again delivers an important slice of the worlds culture on a disc. How fortunate as only 100 years ago people had to travel miles or be able to perform western music, let alone that from the other side of the world. The only thing I would have added is either a second disc or a companion album of pure Indian music, but that may not be what the label attempts to provide. There are plenty of sources for that, and so Putumayo is unique.

New, different sounds from modern India... and beyond!,
By DJ Joe Sixpack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: India (Audio CD)
"Putumayo Presents India"(Putumayo, 2009) ----------------------------------------------------- Not what I would expect from an overview of Indian music, but certainly a change of pace from the standard-issue Bollywood, bhangra and classical ragas we've come to know so well over the years. This is more of a pop-oriented album, but not one of those dreadful electro-dance fusions so often associated with East-West crossovers. This is a delicate, multi-textured album, with a variety of styles and tones, only barely moving into traditional Indian music towards the last few tracks. The various influences reflect the far-flung Indian diaspora, including work by artists such as South African flautist Deepak Ram, and Canada's Kiran Ahluwalia. Also included are a track by A. R. Rahman, who recently won two Oscars for his work on the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack. After listening to this album a few times, I was won over, although it's still a little on the slick side for my tastes -- nonetheless, it's nice to hear stuff that expands our appreciation of Indian popular music. Worth checking out, particularly if you are looking for something new, smooth and mellow. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music) 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful

My new favorite cd from Putumayo,
By E. Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: India (Audio CD)
Putumayo has yet to put out an album that disappoints me. Every album from the label that I have listened to is pure bliss. PUTUMAYO PRESENTS INDIA is another gem and has quickly become one of my personal favorite albums from Putumayo. I have been on a Indian music binge after falling in love with the soundtrack to SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE so it was obvious that I would gravitate to Putumayo's collection of Indian music. Granted the cd is short and just gives the listener a brief glimpse into India's music. As much as I like bhangra music, I often find the rhythms repetitive so it was to my relief to hear that the music on this compilation is more mellow. One of my personal favorite songs on the cd is "Shiva Panchakshara Stotram/Shiva Shadakshara Stotram" by Uma Mohan. I love the gentle percussion rhythms and Uma's airy vocals. The melodies is quite exquisite. My other favorite song is A.R. Rahmna & Chinmayee's "Tere Bina" from the film GURU. The melodies and vocals is what makes this song so enjoyable for me. I can listen to this wonderful cd without skipping a single song.
