Paris$8.07Very traditional in its sound, chanson was rediscovered and revamped in the late 50s and early 60s before it once again became passé with younger audiences, who embraced rock and pop as the sound of their generation. Now, forty years later, a new school of musicians has given a fresh voice to this vintage sound, creating the nouvelle scène (new scene) that is all the rage in Paris. Putumayo Presents Paris is an introduction to a vibrant group of artists out to prove that this is not your grandma’s chanson.
Samba Bossa Nova$8.00VARIOS INTERPRETES SAMBA BOSSA NOVAThis eclectic compilation shows the syncopated and seductive evolution of the African-derived Brazilian samba and its offspring, the bossa nova.

Guitarist-vocalist Márcio Faraco's remake of Noel Rosa's samba-canção "Feitiço da Vila" is just as tasteful.
