From banjo-led folk ballads to soulful zydeco-tinged blues, American Roots celebrates the rich tapestry of American musical traditions. This wide-ranging exploration of Americana music brings together contemporary artists who draw from country, blues, bluegrass, Tex-Mex music and other regional styles while shaping them into something distinctly current and accessible.

The songs on American Roots weave timeless stories of love, resilience, daily life and community with melodies, instruments and genres that echo earlier generations. The result is a collection that honors tradition without being bound by it, inviting listeners from any background to enjoy music shaped by America’s unique history and cultural landscape.

​

American Roots is the latest release in the Putumayo Discovery series, which seeks to highlight underrepresented musical talents from across the globe. Every month, Putumayo Discovery releases two 10-song digital albums featuring exceptional songs by artists representing diverse world cultures and traditions.
