"I like your style / too bad you're not a singer"

[larryhammer]

"Hanging in the Lounge", subtitled "bongos & tangos, with a touch of soul" -- a mix of hip beats and chilling grooves for your lounging needs, with or without a martini. Dig it.

I actually listen to a lot of this stuff, courtesy of Soma FM (particularly the Secret Agent and Groove Salad channels), Aurgasm, and Comfort Stand, but I'd never gotten around to pulling together a mix. Cesaria Evora didn't make the final cut because she's more at home in a café than a groovy lounge, and most Brazilian songs I have are aimed at the dance floor or pop radio.

Playlist links to music videos, where I could find them. The Pan-Am-a-licious one for "Love Beat" is especially recommended. Please comment if you download.
