My first exposure to the world of Exotica was when I was very young - 5 or 6 years old. My mother was into exotica and had left the Arthur Lyman album "Bahia" out. Needless to say I found it and put it on the record player. The first track "Bahia" started quietly with exotic bird calls punctuating the dark groove. I was immediately hooked. I played that album until I literally wore it out. I would play it and pretend I was in my grass hut somehwere in a jungle. Keep in mind I was also watching Gilligan's Island reruns at the time. Flash forward about 20 years and exotica bloomed again with me--which lead to my discovery of the whole tiki community. I have my mother's original "Bahia" LP framed in my house today.
