Anyway, here's a classy and lighthearted (is there any other kind?) version of Agua De Beber:

Henry Mancini's music in the Cortina scenes in "The Pink Panther" made a lasting impression on me as a kid. The whole thing; the Alps, red tux, polo sweaters, conversation pits, silly French detectives – it's been my go-to definition of the ideal high life ever since.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this chill Rhodes groove from Kait Dunton, along with Jake Reed, of mild YouTube notoriety as the supreme master of dead drums.

The way I see it, all playlists should have at least one quirky, old funky library track with analog synths.
Jean-Pierre Decerf - South Of The Border (1981)
A few soothing 'n light flute tracks – exactly what my brain needed today. Thanks, Random Play!
Here's Percy Faith with a (soft) back-beat in 1975. "Dream Your Dream" was written and arranged by a young Alan Broadbent, also a talented jazz pianist, from New Zealand. #Flute, as promised – but also #harmonica, which adds a little Toots feeling. This is a simmering '70s summer day.
Very laidback for Faith, but I wish he'd held back even more with his strings. #TMOLounge
(paraphrasing Michael Stipe) "That's me in my '77 Mercedes 350SL, pilot sunglasses and tweed jacket with elbow patches."
