Smooth Sailing: Funky Chilling & Disco Diving

Picture Joan Smalls: Patrick Demarchelier (Vogue)

We're going to set sail for another boat trip to fantasy island! This part is slightly different from the previous ones. Yacht rock has made place for Latin pop, this time. And that is because of the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, of course! :-) One of the tracks is 'Magic smile' by Rosie Vela:

“Although Vela's modeling kept her busy in the 1980s, she wrote and sang on the side and signed with A&M in 1986. That year, A&M released Vela's debut album, Zazu, which favored a jazzy style of pop/rock and was influenced by Joni Mitchell and Steely Dan."

(Quote: Allmusic)

This mix is partly inspired by The Trip from Joey Negro, one of the best mixed compilation albums ever. Enjoy this new part of Smooth Sailing!
