This playlist is exactly what you need for a good time. A collection of instrumentals ranging from South Asian psychedelic funk to African postcolonial jazz, these songs embody calm and steady good vibes, transporting you into an eternal summer evening on the sand. The playlist ties together both sides of my family, the Sunday nights listening to jazz with my mom and the hours-long conversations with my dad’s family with whispers of Afrobeats in the background. Hopefully you’ll feel the same warm feelings when you listen, too. 🙂
