Les Baxter is absolutely essential. Seek out:

Ritual of the Savage
Tamboo
Caribbean Moonlight
Ports of Pleasure
African Jazz
Jungle Jazz
The Sacred Idol

There are other great Les Baxter albums, but these are the best in the exotica genre, IMHO.

Get the Exotic Moods comp if you can find it.

If you had to pick just one of the albums above, I would go with "Tamboo"!!!! (they are all good, though)
