Day 48: Relaxing with Jazz from Around the World & African Acoustic Tunes

Destination: World Music Day

Welcome to another World Music Sunday. It promises to be a hot, sunny day. My mint "sun" tea is chilling in the fridge. I've already picked the shadiest part of the deck to watch our crazy backyard menagerie of birds and critters. Time to relax this morning.

"Jazz Around The World" - Jazz with a global twist! Original songs and jazz standards performed by musicians from Cuba to Cameroon.

The fascinating global journey of jazz is one of music's most remarkable stories. 'Jazz Around the World' showcases the powerful influence of jazz on musicians from many countries. Featuring both well established and newer artists performing extraordinary covers and originals, this collection incorporates a wide range of rhythms, instruments and melodies into a constantly evolving genre.

With ancestral roots in Africa, jazz flowered into a dynamic force in the United States throughout the 20th century. And, over the years, it has borrowed from, influenced and blended with musical traditions around the world.

and also. . .

"African Cafe" - A relaxing selection of acoustic African songs guaranteed to lift your spirits!

In Putumayo fashion, listeners are taken on a musical journey through different regions of Africa, guided by a selection of relaxing and uplifting acoustic songs that will inspire. African Cafe features both new and legendary artists.

Putumayo Presents: African Café -- Winyo - "Odongo"

And, if the music alone isn't enough to lull you into a relaxing Sunday, a coffee recipe is also included with the CD - a nod to Africa where coffee can trace its heritage back centuries to the ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau.

It's a hot, sultry, lazy kind of day.

Relax and enjoy!

Music has often been a bridge between cultures and people, a bridge that connects and exposes us to different points of view. The music of hope, of dreams shattered, of love, of loss, of triumph and of joy are common themes across all genres of music. May music continue to celebrate diversity while at the same time gathering us together, to be one of the bridges to better understanding and acceptance.
