Summer Music

Since we have a heat wave in the Netherlands already for a week now, I couldn’t resist getting two new summer CD’s. I think they’re both so great; I have to share it with you.

First one is This Very Moment by Hacienda. It’s filled with groovy, loungy, danceable music, complete with pleasant female vocals. I found it in the discount section (the CD was released in 2003) but it would be worth the full price. This is great daytime music for hot days.

The second one is mainly for lazy hot summer nights. It’s Celso Fonseca’s second album: Rive Gauche Rio (released in 2005). This Brazilian singer recorded a mix of lazy, relaxed bossa nova and loungy samba. The music is full, warm, elegant and sensual; a perfect match for enjoying a glass of cold rosé wine and tapas at sunset with some good friends or your lover.

Both albums are also available in the iTunes Music Store (at least in Europe).
