I really didn't know where to post this, so here it is on the main forum :
The Zizou bar used to be a very famous night dancehall in Papeete (tahiti) in the 50's and 60's. Lots of sailors and navy soldiers.
It re-opens under the name "the Shark".
There was Tahitian music of course and now it's all type music : tahitian to Heavy Metal.

Now, there's a CD that is released on the great Tahitian music label Manuiti (bird) about the band of the 60's called "les Tikis" who were regulars at the zizou bar.
And what do we found on the covers : yes, you're right : great tikis.

Those tikis seems more american than tahitian, with lots of color, so maybe they were imported from California to Tahiti (wich seems funny).
Ok, here's the record cover :

I'll try to have info on that, but if you have an idea of where those might comes from...I know that some tikis were imported to the Royal Tahitien.
