Dan Storper was such a pioneer, not only as the founder of Putumayo, a maven amongst mavens (which this garden variety radio nerd is forever grateful to), but as a singular voice for his mission to open up channels of listening for the rest of us that were buried or somehow neglected. A world of world music brought to the world. Without such expertise we all would have been poorer listeners, and his loss that we now grieve must accompany our gratitude for his lifetime of work.
