Goin' Native Records is a label passionate about producing the music of the Caribbean, Africa and South America, committed to producing the highest-quality recordings and dedicated to bringing them to the public in the most modern of ways. We are a label rooted in traditions of the past, with a firm grasp of the present and future of the music business.

Our label has its roots in the music of the islands, the Andes, Africa, and wherever passionate world music is made, where the idea of getting back to the roots of traditional musical genres takes on a new significance in the face of present global awareness. Our artists spring from their culture with dedication to their craft, and an awareness of how each song they create can meld the world they live in with the larger fabric of world music. Goin' Native is about getting back to your roots, but also about going beyond them to a new place inspired by that journey.

We develop our artists from countries around the world, working with them both in the studio and in performance venues, and our location in beautiful Orlando Florida provides us with many options for exposing world-class talent to a world-class audience. Artists come from many countries to work with us, and in our state-of-the-art recording facility we capture and mix their music utilizing the foremost engineers available. We emphasize traditional instrumentation and methods of music making, then capture it using the best state-of-the-art digital recording technology available.

Goin' Native Records also cultivates relationships with distribution and promotion from countries throughout Europe, the United States and wherever a taste for world music thrives, exposing the work of little-known artists to a wider audience. The label provides both mail order and retail CD sales and digital download services through its web site as well as major distribution outlets, and provides a number of music licensing options to the media industry.

We pride ourselves in creating a unique, high-quality product that embodies the passion and essence of world travel and exposure to new cultures.
