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.

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.
