I just don't get why people associate Jimmy the Buffet with Tiki in the first place. He has less in common with it than Leonard Bernstein. (Actually, most exotica musicians were classically or jazz band trained.) At the very simplest, Tiki is a retro appreciation. It's all about discovering and enjoying a way of life that flourished half a century ago. 'Tiki Modern' explains it perfectly. Why waste time trying to explain it in more detail? It's obvious. Modern-era songwriters have nothing to do with classic Tiki; the whole idea is absurd. Why discuss the subject? |
