This life's an open door

Contents

In Palolem there's a great restaurant where you sit on the sand underneath a big banyan tree and eat Thai food to your heart's content while listening to chill music. I was really digging the songs they were playing so I spoke to the owner and he told me how a guy from Europe had made two mixes for him: morning and evening (each with over 100 tracks). He ended up burning me copies of the morning and evening mix which I've been listening to at home. Whenever I hear a song I really like I look it up and I've discovered some new artists that I like such as Panteon Rococo, a ska band from Mexico City. But the artist I've fallen in love with is Lisa Ekdahl. She writes and sings most of her songs in Swedish, but her vulnerable voice is ideal above a bossa nova guitar. I was intruiged by the guitar behind her brazilian-style jazz tracks and after some research learned that the guitarist is Paul DiBartolo, a very interesting character who I would love to meet someday. The track "Daybreak" is incredibly good, however the one that speaks to me most is "Open Door". I've uploaded the mp3 for you to enjoy.
