Putumayo World Music's release India, is a CD collection that showcases India's rich musical variety, from classical and acoustic folk to Bollywood and lounge music. India's emergence as a global economic power has brought increased awareness of this extraordinarily diverse country's multicultural offerings, its music foremost among them. India's thriving popular music scene--an adjunct to the country's immense Bollywood film industry--is highlighted on this collection.

  A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to India Foundation for the Arts in support of its efforts to enrich the practice, knowledge, public access to and experience of the arts in India.
