Greetings from the Alternative Division at Putumayo World Music. The Alternative Division is responsible for developing relationships with non-traditional retail environments, including gift, book and clothing shops, as well as cafes, museums, zoos & other specialty stores throughout the United States. Our division was created to provide melodic music from around the world for retailers to play and sell.

Putumayo collections are guaranteed to make you and your customer feel good while helping to create a great environment for retail shopping. Our philosophy: if the music is upbeat, the customer will be happier, linger in the store longer and buy more. Additionally, stores earn extra income when customers purchase CDs.
