On September 29th, Putumayo World Music will release España, a CD collection featuring a captivating mix of songs by contemporary artists from across Spain, showcasing the country's diverse yet accessible music styles. The modern music of Spain is a fascinating blend of old and new, reflecting centuries of tradition, diverse regional cultures and international influences.

España spotlights a broad cross-section of music, from Spain's best-known genre, flamenco, to Barcelona's mestizo (mixed) movement, which incorporates fusions of pop, rock, jazz, reggae, rumba, flamenco and more. The featured songs were selected from hundreds of albums collected during several scouting trips to Spain by Putumayo's A&R team. España also features the work of renowned photographer Peter Adams and a recipe by famed Basque chef Eva Arguinaño.

A portion of Putumayo's proceeds will be donated to Intermón Oxfam, the Spanish branch of Oxfam International, which supports the empowerment of fair trade artisans and farmers worldwide.
