About
Bio
I am the head of A&R at Putumayo, a compilations record label and playlist curator that specializes in global and roots music. Putumayo travels the world in search of exceptional songs from Congo to Cuba, Rome to Rio, New Orleans to Nova Scotia. Putumayo’s meticulously researched and curated musical journeys are “guaranteed to make you feel good!” We are looking for songs with diverse cultural roots, catchy, accessible melodies. Nothing too heavy, experimental or avant-garde.
