In only their 2nd year of existence, Cumbancha has been awarded the title of #1 label of 2008 by Womex.  This prestigious award is based on the summary of chart positions received by the label's releases on the World Music Charts Europe. 

From the Womex website:

THE THIRD ANNUAL WOMEX TOP LABEL AWARD

The competition was fierce, but we have our WOMEX Top Label for 2008, the

US-based Cumbancha, who have been experiencing a great run these past two

years thanks to their own innovative A&R¹ing and to their collaboration

with Stonetree Records in Belize.

Created as a joint project with the World Music Charts Europe, the selection

for the WOMEX Top Label Award is made using the charts of over 50 radio

broadcasters from 25 countries.
