Dear moderator, why did you remove this topic?

Bo Diddley made original exotic music, He create THE jungle Rhythm (also covered by Dick Dale & countless others).

Sure there is no Polynesian connection but classic exotica jazz pop like Les Baxter (and I say Les Baxter not M. Denny) doesn't have any Polynesian connections either, or does it?

In the forum it says discussion for: Exotica, Lounge, Cocktail, Hawaiian, Vocals & Standards, Bump & Grind, Space-Age, Surf, Rockabilly

If you remove this topic you must remove Bump & Grind (or does it mean something else than the stuff that you find on a Jungle Exotica or a Las Vegas Grind comp??? please let me know) &

.. and if it's allowed to discuss rockabilly you can't move bo either if you had in mind what a big role rocking blues plays in today's rockabilly scene. Nearly every rockabilly band today plays blues boppers, and the rockabilly djs playing blues boppers like Bo's huckleberry bush for the rockabilly crowd.. (I wonder if this is different in the us?)
