This was the best track on a downtempo trip-hop album I purchased while downloading MP3s from eMusic. Before Soundcloud, eMusic was a place where I could find all sorts of non mainstream electronic music.

I imagine that the synths are a relatively modern addition to bossa nova. I'm not sure if there are those who feel that the song and guitar is enough. As is, I like how everything comes together. I just have to brush up on my Portugese or translate the lyrics.

This song can help set the tone for the day, mood wise. Weather warm enough to not feel armored within layers of clothes, sun shining. Good times.

I need to find that album to see if there are other gems on there.
