Album lore

Putumayo Presents World Yoga, issued in late 2012 on the Putumayo World Music imprint, compiles a diverse selection of global sounds attuned to the contemplative practice of yoga. The fifteen tracks span an array of styles, drawing from Mali’s kora traditions alongside other world and chillout influences. Among them is “Yarabi,” a piece that exemplifies the album’s gentle, meditative ethos.This collection assembles artists whose work resonates with the measured cadence and reflective moods suited for yoga sessions, without resorting to overt new-age affectations. The album folds together African motifs and global rhythms, offering a measured counterpoint to more bombastic world music compilations. Its modest following on digital platforms attests to its niche appeal, serving as a quiet artifact within the broader Putumayo canon.
