One year ago, we shared the heartbreaking news that Putumayo’s founder and CEO, Dan Storper, had passed away. Today, we wanted to take a moment to reflect, remember, and celebrate his life and legacy.

Over the past year, we’ve released 24 digital albums and expanded the Putumayo family of artists. We also gathered twice in New Orleans to celebrate Dan’s life, first in July 2025 with friends, the Storper family, and the extended Putumayo community sharing music, stories, laughter, and memories, and again in January 2026 during Folk Alliance, where we hosted both a panel honoring the legacy of Putumayo and Dan Storper, and a music festival, Putumayo Celebrate the World at The Broadside, also in his honor.

Both events felt like a true reflection of Dan’s generous, joyful, and uplifting nature, and we were deeply touched by the support shown by both the New Orleans and music communities. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make these gatherings so meaningful.

Dan is deeply missed, but the light he brought into the world continues to shine through Putumayo, and we look forward to what the future holds.

Travel to Malawi and experience the landscapes that inspired Code Sangala's new single "Suntche," out today with Putumayo.

OUT NOW! Code Sangala's brand new single "Suntche" is available on all your favorite streaming platforms today, May 22nd! 🎧✨

The story behind this song is incredibly powerful. "Suntche" is named after the elephant shrew, a small animal local folklore says never survives crossing the road. In the track, Sangala talks to the animal, urging it to move faster to avoid oncoming traffic.

But it’s also a deeper warning to the people of Malawi. Zomba Mountain, once home to beautiful wildlife like leopards and hyenas, is turning into a desert due to deforestation and bushfires.

Listen to "Suntche" today and mark your calendars: the full album ''African Sojourn'' drops next week on May 29th!
