Overview
- Byrne announced on Instagram that he will wed this week and linked a 42-track Apple Music set titled Dinner Music for the wedding dinner.
- He said he chose mostly instrumentals because lyrics can distract, aiming for buoyant pieces to create a hopeful, joyous atmosphere guests can also ignore.
- The playlist leans heavily on Latin music and includes selections by El Alfa, Mexican Institute of Sound, Son Rompe Pera, Café Tacvba, and Meridian Brothers.
- Other featured tracks include Brian Eno’s An Ending (Ascent), recordings by Herbie Hancock and T Bone Burnett, and an instrumental version of Post Malone’s Wow.
- He previously referred to Gaonkar as his fiancée in August; the new album arrives September 5 with a tour opening September 14 in Providence, Rhode Island.
