I don't want to embarass myself with my ignorance, but were do songs like "Girl from Ipanema" fit in? Bossa Nova was popular (1958-63) during the golden Tiki age and I imagine it played often at home tiki bars. I know enough about music to realize it's quite dissimilar to Exotica; different instrumentation, different beat, vocals vs instrumental - but it still has the vibe of tropical nights, white beaches, and exotic locations (and it's NOT Caribbean :) )
