David Byrne's Luaka Bop is one of many labels offering free music.
The music folks at Amazon.com are hosting something they're calling a World Music Festival, offering 30% discounts on featured world music CDs, and a 22% discount on Putumayo titles. Better yet, the site has a list of 28 different label samplers that you can download for free (check out the sidebar and you'll see even more). That's a lot of free tune-age, and includes major world music labels like Putimayo, Luaka Bop (founded by Talking Heads' frontman David Byrne) and Rough Guide, plus others specializing in reggae, African, Brazilian, Middle Eastern and Indian music.
Amazon isn't saying how long the free downloads will be available so, as the late night TV ads say, act now!
