Music Review: Christmas Around the World

Putamayo Present: Christmas Around the World, 2001.
This is a nice selection of different musical styles and instruments, around the theme of Christmas.  I wouldn't say it is all inclusive of the world.  It is weighted heavily to Latin cultures, especially Cuba, and American Cajun music.  Instruments featured include violin, steel drum, accordion and banjo.  Styles include Twoubadou, Cuban nueva trova, CajunTrinidad steel drum, Cuban jazz, gypsy rumba Flamenco, Cuban campesino and banjo driven music.
I enjoy this different sounds and genres.  I am really attached to Latin sounds.
