Okonkuluku!

WAITIKI has received its second nomination for the Hawaii Music Awards. We were first nominated last year for our debut album "Charred Mammal Flesh: Exotic Music for BBQ," and were duly honored: not only with the nomination (and subsequent "Exotica Album of the Year" award), but also with the creation of a category for Exotica.

As far as we know, last year was the first time an awards/recognition program in Hawaii had a category for exotica music! This year, we are honored to be sharing the Exotica category with Jim Bacchi's TIkiyaki Orchestra project. May this be the start of a long and prosperous category for tikiphiles and musicians alike.

WAITIKI's nomination is for our sophomore release: Rendezvous in Okonkuluku.
