Looking for Hapa Haole CD's - Tiki Music

If it has lyrics, it likely is. Some of the more traditional ones get in the mix too. But if it has English lyrics, it's Hapa Haole. Exotica is instrumental lounge music that has a exotic sound and often some connection like the cover, song title or home land of the performer. Then there is Tahitian music, which is my newer favorite for it's fast beats and energy. By the way, my Exotica/Hapa Haole/Tahitian station on Live365 is gone. There was no interest. I may bringit back closer to Hukilau next year for a few months, but it's just not being listened to. Too quiet and slow I guess.
