I am still participating in this thread and still willing to trade a couple Mugs and decals to Pele for copies of her records. I read somewhere else on the board that Pirates are kinda tiki. Arrgh!

I like reggae, it gives off a nice island vibe. Mostly roots and dub is in my collection. Lee Perry is a genius. Its not Tiki but gives good tropical ambiance. Although, Jamaica, rum, Mai -tais, tiki. Maybe it is tiki? My wahine has turned me onto a lot old Ska. Desmond Decker, the Specials, The Selector, Barrington Levy. The Skatalites, the grandaddies of Reggae, fit perfectly into most tiki hut soundsystems. Mostly, Instro tunes with an amazing Saxophonist who goes by the name of Roland Alphonso. Strictly Roots. I dig the look of the era as well. The Rudies were looking sharp.
Ska, ska, ska! doot doot doot doot doot. Jamaican ska!
