Because this Honors course is a speaking-intensive seminar, I not only bring music to the course -- I invite (require) students to do the same. In the Fall 2025 semester, the first assignment of this kind had students exploring the Putumayo catalog (see my May 2025 Dan Storper memoriam post for some of the story of this important label).

The students rose to the occasion -- each sharing a different song, most of which are available on YouTube. Two dozen students brought music from almost as many countries and share stories about the artists and the geography of their origins. All of the music is so enjoyable that I have collected the videos in this playlist.
Enjoy -- and if you want to learn more, seek these artists on the Putumayo web site.
Bonus: while looking for the YouTube link for Haflína by Marína Ósk of Iceland, I found Coffee Song by the same artist and had to add it!
