Few people have made the kind of lasting, universal impact that Bob Marley has made with his music. In his short 36 years, Marley managed not only to introduce hundreds of millions to reggae but also spread powerful messages of peace, love, human rights and acceptance. It’s no surprise that almost 30 years after his death, one can travel to any part of the globe and witness his far-reaching musical legacy. Bob Marley would have been 65 in 2010, and in celebration, Putumayo releases Tribute to a Reggae Legend, a multi-genre album featuring artists from around the world performing many of his best-loved songs. The collection is the first tribute album Putumayo has produced and its first with five exclusive, original tracks. Artists who recorded songs for this release include Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, a group of refugees displaced to Guinea during the Sierra Leone civil war. They beautifully harmonize on a poignant interpretation of 'No Woman, No Cry.' South African Afro-fusion band Freshlyground contributes an original recording of 'Africa Unite,' demonstrating their signature mix of African folk, kwela and jazz.

The ‘priceless jewel’ of a voice behind Transglobal Underground, Natacha Atlas toured Australia in 2009 for WOMADelaide. Mounqaliba - 'in a state of reversal' in classical Arabic - follows the runaway success of her World Village debut, Ana Hina (WV450005). The hypnotic beauty of Natacha’s lilting vocals crosses Western and Arabic classical styles with a lush string section described by the singer as ‘Baroque meets Beirut’, with exotic renditions of Nick Drake’s 'River Man' and a song by Françoise Hardy.

"'Beauty is necessary for survival.' So Sun Ra told me in 1983. but whether or not you believe beauty is necessary for survival, you can be sure that you're holding a little piece of it in your hand right now. And who knows but that, in different dimensions, Sun Ra speaks for you?' -Graham Lock

Paul Robeson, a great American singer and actor, spent much of his life actively campaigning for equality and fair treatment for all of America’s citizens as well as citizens of the world. Robeson brought to his audiences not only a melodious baritone voice and a grand presence, but magnificent performances on stage and screen. Although his outspokenness often caused him difficulties in his career and personal life, he unswervingly pursued and supported issues that only someone in his position could effect on a grand scale. His career flourished in the 1940s as he performed in America and numerous countries around the world. He was one of the most celebrated figures of his time. This collection of 25 tracks includes performances from his legendary 1958 Carnegie Hall concert and many lesser-known pieces.

Enjoying great success in music, film, television, and the stage, Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. A member of the legendary Rat Pack, he lived and died the high life of booze, broads and bright lights, always projecting a sense of utter detachment and serenity; along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and the other chosen few who breathed the same rarefied air, Martin — highball and cigarette always firmly in hand — embodied the glorious excess of a world long gone, a world without rules or consequences. This collection presents 26 classic tracks on a single CD, digitally re-mastered. Includes 'Sway', 'That's Amore', 'Volare' and many, many more of his hits.

At the peak of her career, actress/singer Debbie Reynolds was America's sweetheart, the archetypal girl-next-door; best remembered for her work in Hollywood musicals, she appeared in the genre's defining moment, Singin' in the Rain, as well as many other notable successes. Her recording of the song 'Tammy' (from her 1957 film Tammy and the Bachelor) earned her a gold record and was the best-selling single by a female vocalist in 1957. It was number one for five weeks on the Billboard pop charts. In the movie (the first of the Tammy film series) she co-starred with Leslie Nielsen. In 1959 Reynolds recorded her first album, simply called Debbie, her own selection of 12 standards including 'S’posin', 'Moonglow', 'Mean To Me' and 'Time After Time'. Bing Crosby paid tribute to Reynolds in the sleeve notes accompanying the album. Most recently, she concluded a one-woman tour of the UK.
