Watch out! If you already have Putumayo World Christmas...

"If you already have Putumayo World Christmas, four of the 12 songs on this album are duplicates from that album. I don't understand why they released another Christmas album while the other one was still available if they weren't going to put all new songs on it. That said, this is a great album. It's a ton of fun to hear songs from around the world about Christmas and a really good variety of songs from different areas."
Great CD!

"If you love world music, you're going to love Putomayo. If you don't know world music and want to learn, this label is an excellent start. They provide you with just a taste of a variety of songs.
Christmas Around the World takes you from Haiti to France and back again. You get:
Haiti--1 song
USA--4 songs
Cuba--3 songs
Barbados--1 song
France--1 song
Martinique--1 song
It's a nice flavoring of all kinds of music and sounds.
If you have Putomayo's World Christmas, you have 1/3 of this CD. If you are looking for different Christmas music, this is mostly world covers of traditional Christmas music.

"This is a great album. The songs are old favorites done in the Putumayo way. It is fun and has broad appeal. I would definitely recommend this to anyone."
