I was lucky enough to see the first Toronto show on August 10th. An amazing night that I will remember always. The hip have been a part of my life since their first album back in 87 and right through to their latest album Man Machine Poem. Thank you Gord and the rest of the boys for all the great music through the years and contributing so much to the Canadian culture and identity!
Look after the king of R n R please I just meant to write the same comment, good thing I checked with the knowledgeable listeners first!

Just haven't played it in a long time. Now I'll have to.

Didn't see him make any reference to the African Continent. I guess South America, New Guinea, India, Indonesia, Hawaii, parts of Southern Mexico, Costa Rica, etc., etc., get a pass because your mind automatically went there?
People need to lighten up.

Very interesting fusion of instruments. I like it.
Break out the bongos! Torch the fire pit! Roast the non-natives! :P
Good song title.

This could have, just might have been, recorded using a Rinky Dink system. At least, I like to think so.

Putumayo is archetypal world music, but the term no longer really applies as a genre. Music these days is a river of regional currents all mixing together in a global market, but representing still distinct traditions. Rock, for instance, is but a drop in the bucket.

When you move from Paris, the first thing, feeling you'll miss is Africa. In Paris (I mean the real one not the presidential one) Africa is everywhere. I love Africa. And after you'll hear the mixing cultures. Fascinating.

you can thank the label for the folk art. all the PUTAMAYO world music CDs sport this kind of cover, if not the exact same artist, which actually (for me at least) makes their CDs very visible in the shops — along with their frequent use of special PUTAMAYO-only racks placed strategically around stores.
just like the rainbow spine along the REALWORLD CDs put out by Peter Gabriel's production label.
which, all in all, i think is smart marketing. even glancing through a CD rack i can right away tell where the good "world music" (so-called) is, because after well over a decade of listening to the genre i've come to deeply trust those labels to provide me with excellent grooves and sounds.
out of the 40 or so REALWORLD albums i've picked up since the early 90s, i think there are only two i don't listen to anymore. and where PUTAMAYO is concerned, none of their CDs have spiraled out of the slow rotation of the musical galaxy i continue to enjoy year after year.
cool music, but I can do without the childish and cliche Kumbaya album cover.....

Well this is nice! Reminds me a little of "Son De La Frontera"... only heard one song of them during a demonstration of a hifi-system for 300.000 euros. Kind of kicked ass :D
A lot of rythm.. acoustic, spanish and some footstamping... wohoi!

This is nice. It stands up well after Roundabout. That is a compliment.
RP is truly the Dali lama of music and I thank you.

Hold the phone, Ethel. I'm a white guy who is viewed by some as a lefty (Canadian, actually), which I'll buy if lefty means thinking tax cuts for the rich are stupid, for instance. But there are a few of us not over there on the hard right.

Although I think my dominant culture these days is computer/video game geek, which has the advantage of largely detaching oneself from one's physical appearance, since it is conducted largely over the intertubes.

Neat seamless segue from Yes "Roundabout"... I didn't realise until Bill said! I though Yes had suddenly gone all African...
