This was literally the LAST entry to make it in before the deadline of Robert Glasper's "Move Love" Remix Contest, hosted by Indaba Music, as I was pushing it to the last minute with changes and edits before I had to stop or miss out! lol
This remix is special to me not only because this is my first time attempting Bossa Nova (fused with Soul, at that) but because I just so happen to have finished producing it while actually in Brasil where I was on vacation/holiday to experience my first ever Carnaval. Also, since my host is an accomplished Bossa Nova singer, I had to run it by her to make sure this was accurate and not an insult to her country's beautiful genre...thankfully she liked it and approved!
And for all the free downloads you've gotten from me in the past, a vote for this remix would be nice in return and please share with others to do the same. It's not really the winning part (although that would be the cherry on top) but I'm looking to gain more exposure, so your support (a mere few seconds to vote) would be appreciated ;o)

Anyway, thank you for taking any time to listen, and especially if you voted, made a comment, and/or shared this link. Oh, and the piano in the first bridge and rhodes afterwards is Robert Glasper. The main piano solo towards the end is all me (as well as the rest of the music...I make music, not just beats lol). Hope you enjoy...
peace,
Ahmed
