In hot pursuit of an old enemy and older friend who may be planning to bring about a massive calamity to destroy the life of the planet for unknown reasons, our not-so-merry band of ragtag-well, not heroes, but sort-of environmentalist activists-cross the ocean and land to the eastern shores of the next continent over. They hope to pick up the lead on their quarry in the port town.
Well … beach town, as it happens. Sea, surf, sun, and all that. What a pity you can’t really take a vacation in the world-saving business, because Costa del Sol is a lovely, relaxed, and relaxing place. Its theme music is expertly constructed by Uematsu in the bossa nova style to make the player get into the groove. The arrangement deeply leans into this bossa nova influence, also adding a touch of samba-both musical styles originating in Brazil. The instrumentation in particular is heavily influenced by that found in the album “Wave,” by Tom Jobim, the Brazilian composer and performer who has been considered “The Father of Bossa Nova.”
The performers of “Costa del Sol” are Lauren Barefoot, Kai Diaz, Sherwin Fong, Andrew Wang, Jess Yuen, and Cindy Zhang on violin; Aly Bittner, Claire Bradfuhrer, Danielle Daines, and Victor Ontiveros on viola; Alex Le Floch and Alex Son on cello; Benjamin Downey on triangle and vibraslap, Julius Verzosa on güiro, Scott Luxenberg on congas, Jess Bateman on tubano, Les Doerfler on shaker, Lee Stearns on drums, Isabel Martinez on upright bass, Dan Serino on guitar, and Cory Haley on cuíca; and the following soloists: Mary Beck on flute, Jamin Morden on horn, Josh Haas on trombone, and Zeynep Dilli on piano.

This was such a beautiful and relaxing 5 minutes during a busy day
Thank you so much!
So smooooooth
I'm fascinated by that can/drum/squeaky toy!
It's called a Cuica drum! It's played by rubbing a damp sponge or cloth across the wooden stick that is suspended in the head of the drum.
Rumor has it that we'll be programming more music with the cuíca at our upcoming shows :) To be determined!
Such a smooth arrangement 💜
Agreed!
