Hey! Good to see you doing another Music Monday, DEV needed this!

I have one song that makes me think of tropical weather, but it also talks about the summer. This song reminds me of a specific part of Tela, Honduras.

Wow, I'm loving this, Rodrigo! Great suggestion. 🙌

Paul Bender's voice and style kinda reminds me a bit of Devendra Banhart. Not sure if you're familiar with him but he's got so much good music and some of it's in Spanish too, for instance, check out this tune:

If you wanna hear one of his songs in English, here's an easy-going, sunshiny tune for ya:

Maaan! This was one of your best recommendations! I'm kinda mad because I didn't knew Devendra before!

I already listened like 4 songs from him, there are two that I really liked:

They aren't exactly summer themed, but I don't listen to hardly any music, so my posting options were already limited. 😅

Most browsers show 'Your browser is deprecated. Please upgrade.' for the title preview.

Ignore it.

DEV's engine for generate embeds probably uses something with a custom user-agent (or none at all), which just confused YouTube.

Got another one for y'all! The album "A Groovy Thing" by Flamingosis... it's just got a sunny sorta feel-good vibe to it. Make sure ya make it to at least the second song, "Don't Lose the Feeling" — I love that one!

Indeed, I am! Well, I can't guarantee that I'll make it every Monday, but I plan to drop in at least semi-regularly to kick off a musical discussion, collect some new tune suggestions, and catch up with all you lovely folks. 💚

And on the note of this Childish Gambino track you dropped, I'm soooo freaking glad you suggested this one. Funny enough, it was in my YouTube list earlier and I was planning to pluck it for the thread here. I'm glad you came through with it instead! 🙌

Childish Gambino is one of my all-time faves! He's actually got a new project coming out this week called Bando Stone & The New World... it's unclear to me if it's a movie with an accompanying soundtrack OR maybe just a soundtrack to a nonexistent movie. Whatever the heck it is, I'm excited for it, haha!

Here are the two things I've seen from it thus far:

Plus, he also re-released an album earlier this year... long story but it has some songs on it that are freaking fire! 🔥

Got this one on my mind because I just watched the latest episode of Digging the Greats titled "How Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince Made The Ultimate Summer Song"... check it out!

Notably, the song they're talking about samples one of my all-time favorite summertime songs "Summer Madness" by Kool & the Gang. This one is just oh so smooth:

Beautiful tune! I'd never heard this one before. I'm kinda getting "The Girl From Ipanema" vibes from it and that's a good thing. Appreciate ya sharing, Igor!

the whole playlist is like the next logical step after the Getz/Gilberto album that introduced the Girl from Ipanema, but a being long time fan of Jobim/Getz I just discovered this one myself. If you like it try also "The Stone Flower" by the greatest of all Jobim.

Oh wow! The same folks are involved, eh? It all makes sense. 🙂

I'll absolutely check out "The Stone Flower" — thanks for the recommendation!
