One that sounds very tropical, nice to hear on a sunny day, like a calm afternoon in an african savannah, or in a coastal location in south america, it may be something more orchestrated, or indigenous, African folk, mixed with easy-listening progressive rock characteristics, etc. something like this: https://youtu.be/I_NYgCUiDsY https://youtu.be/1Z1qNsm-NUk |

Well...you must know this one....try all of Jobim's stuff... you might like Osibisa also...more modern with jazz and rock elements. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Hi, You will NEVER FIND a better pair of albums, than the ones that EGBERTO GISMONTI does on his guitar in the early days ... later he took this to the piano and it is just as incredible ... and if you want a crazy album that for me is like hearing Stravinsky ... try NO CAIPIRA and make sure you play it LOUD and on a system that can be called a "system" instead of mp3 earphones from your smartphone! He took this a bit further to play with Charlie Haden and Jan Garbarek and those are also worth noting. Likewise, his close friend, NANA VASCONCELLOS also has a couple of albums worth mentioning. The only thing for you to remember is that this is NOT the commercial sounding Brazilian music at all ... and sometimes calling it "jazz" is really sad ... because it really is a heck of a trip ... (something that progressive folks don't do anymore!) Academia de Dancas Danca das Cabecas Sol do Meio Dia No Caipira Saudades Magico Folk Songs (didn't list the others)

Dark Elf made me think of this..one of my all time favorites....maybe not 'jungle' but perfect relaxing coastal music.... This whole lp is fantastic.... ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

I like what you posted Gui_Stripy. I love lots of tropica/ exootica kind of music. Nino Nardini & Roger Roger's Jungle Obsession was the first to come to mind (lovely album). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noYzjth4wEU" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noYzjth4wEU And Mandingo right after: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvxWibFr0wiKdiWBc2ppZt0DjGw5kGEru" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvxWibFr0wiKdiWBc2ppZt0DjGw5kGEru And Mandingo for various albums, but especially for the Primevil Rythm of Life |

I'd recommend the albums Portes d’Orient / Amazonia (double CD) and Outrelande by French experimental / library music luminaries Sonorhc. It seems a bit pointless though as the records are OOP and not on Spotify. There's only a bit on Youtube but it gives a flavour: ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

Hi, Weird ... the OP says "instrumental albums" ... and we get a bunch of single songs posted ... and Santana is not "jungle theme" at all ... but then I'm not sure many of you have lived near the Amazon like I did to have a really good feel for it ... some song makes you supposedly feel it ... There is a huge difference! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

| In such cases I think it's better to leave it to the original poster looking for recommendations to deem the worthiness of the music per the topic (hope Lucas returns). His second youtube link does have vocals, so I don't think choosing one with vocals should be a problem. I think it's good to look beyond just the headline (topic title) -- in this by reading and interpreting the first post and checking out the music he mentioned. And we are not supposed to embed full albums, samples are good for a taste, and one can always look into full albums if those appeal. I linked to albums. Pedro, you too often come across as negative and complaining, and the "Hi" does not soften that. |

I was looking for something else (by Yello) when I came across this: Yello - Jungle Bill
------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Hi, I have said "hi" and "hello" to all my customers and to show you the difference, one time in Pendleton (during Round Up - 1983) I decided that all the employees would make some animal sounds as hints to various needs in the food line and so on. So one time, one of the guys does a horse really loud and some guy pokes his head from the entrance area ... "I've come to the right place!" ... and the whole place cracked up! Here, hellos are a suggestion of dislike and hate. That is SICK! My comments on that post were not a complaint! I merely asked, if the OP meant ALBUMS ... not songs ... and right off the bat, your comment suggests that I am finding all the suggestions incorrect, and wrong ... none of them are "wrong". But they were not all ALBUMS. AND some suggestions were very nice! As usual ... pick on me ... what else is knew ... I can't be right, because it means some folks here are wrong ... I'm not about "right or wrong" ... but using words and specifying them PROPERLY is important to me ... look what happens when the WORDS mean NOTHING AT ALL! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
