I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
So, this is not necessarily all that similar, but perhaps from a similar part of the world... I've always loved this version of "The Girl From Ipanema":
I mean hey, it's got some similar elevator music vibes to it, haha!
Last one... and this a big reach, but when it comes to mostly instrumental music with a jazzy, international tinge to it, I really dig this album called "The Outernational Sound" by a group called Thievery Corporation. It's more modern than the other stuff we've been talking about, but I think it's pretty cool... and several of the tunes in this album would likely still be mild enough for most elevators. Here's the full album; check out the time stamps, in case you wanna skip around the tracks.
The Girl from Ipanema is one of those songs that just feels eternal: it's in a unique space all to itself that will last forever. Impossible to overpraise.
Haha, this is great! I dig it and love your description of it. Cool that this is making it's rounds on Instagram.
It kinda reminds me of a suggestion that I received from Nate (@neagle) a few weeks back in the "Music Monday: Niche Edition" for exotica.

Thank you for the awesome recommendations! I fell in love with "The Girl from Ipanema" on first listen!
