We welcome the month of August - the quintessential month of summer in the northern hemisphere - with an inspiring, light and vibrant playlist.
By Rita Lopes Pires
L'été's playlist is a celebration of the most anticipated season of the year and was designed to contemplate the warmer days: to be listen to on the journey to your holiday destination, to accompany an al fresco meal with friends and family, or simply playing it on endless pool and sunny laidback days.
This soundtrack combines the hot rhythms of Mayra Andrade with the unmistakable and timeless classics of Bossa Nova. Not forgetting, Jazz because it inspires and helps us disconnect - it's the perfect background music for a late afternoon bubble bath - a must if you choose Casa das Pedras villas to spend your holidays.
We created a soundtrack that combines harmonious mix of rhythms, melodies and lyrics which, together, matchs lazy afternoons at the beach, nights under the stars or a car ride with the windows rooled down and the wind brushing through your face.
Set your bags down, pour yourself a glass of wine and press play.
01- Everyone Loves Sunshine
"My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine", the almost hypnotic repetition of the lyrics reinforces the idea that, regardless of the circumstances, the sun and the light always bring a feeling of renewal. Roy's iconic composition Ayers, in Flo Morrisey's version acquires a refreshing and delicate new perspective.
02- Summertime, the undisputed classic serves as a reminder that in the summer “the livin’ is easy”.
Composed by George Gershwin for the opera "Porgy and Bess" in 1934, the song has been performed by numerous artists, each adding their own unique touch to It.
