In my opinion, get rid of the Buffet and the Marley.

Go vintage. You will have no competition. Get Arthur Lyman, Martin Denny, Les Baxter and Esquivel. If you want to mellow out, get Antonio Carlos Jobim and Sergio mendes.

Go vintage tropical. Very few "tiki" bars in restaraunts are playing this type of stuff in the background. Most go the Jimmy Buffet route, confusing a vaguely generic tropical feel for real Tiki.
