EXOTICA MIXTAPES

EXOTICA !

Summer continues, but the holidays are over, and we have images in our minds of fine sand, warm sea, refreshing waves, dizzying mountains, wild rivers, evenings under the stars, wild dancing, the smell of pine trees, the smell of rivers, the feel of fish under our fingers, and the sun on our skin.

These are called memories, and we have to hold on to them until next summer!

So in the evening, at home, I put on these mixtapes and we dance until we lose our minds! Do as we do!
