We had the pleasure of speaking with Dan Storper about the early days of Putumayo and about what he has planned for the future. Putumayo has ten offices worldwide. Their products are sold at a network of more than 3,000 book, gift, clothing, coffee and other specialty retailers in the US and the they distribute their CDs in more than 80 countries around the world.

At Global Ginga, we love the Putumayo Compilations!

What makes the label successful?  How is Dan involved in the day to day activities?  What does he consider to be his "success" formula?  How do artists submit music to be considered for a compilation?

We have the answers in this interview taped in April of 2020.
