We love the Putumayo World Music CDs because they take us to exotic locales via music (and they have cute folk art covers). In the last couple of months, they released Acoustic France and the hypnotic Acoustic Arabia (which we really like). They also donate proceeds of sales to non-profit organizations relating to the countries where the music originates. They have a sale going on now offering 12 of their classic CDs for only $10 each.
