And I agree with so many of the comments that have been posted on this subject. Even regarding the clothing...though I am involved with more of the "Hawaiian" side of things, I actually prefer the formal attire and overall "Lounge" culture. I like all things Hawaiian, but prefer it to be more fake then real. Jim Tikiyaki once posted his take on what he thought a "Luau" should be (fake cantonese food, ect) and essentially he was describing the Brady Bunch goes to Hawaii by way of the Tahitian Terrace restaraunt in disneyland! South of the border! Oh yes! Once again, this is something I love. I can't get enough of Baja Marimba band and Herp Alpert, believeing them to be the logical succesors of Lounge music. It's almost like they kept the scene alive despite the 60's effort by hippy/pop culture to kill it! I would add my favorite, Sergio Mendes in that category as well. Esquivel (one of my favorite lounge artists) was awesome, and there are others that really also exploited the Latin sound in thier "Lounge" music. Sometimes I even find bands you would not think would fit in, such as "Los Panchos"...(check out the work they did with Edie Gorme!) (sic)! I also would like to see the Marty Lush/Latin Livers perform at the next Tiki oasis. I think that would be a good fit! [ Edited by: lucas vigor 2010-08-26 09:46 ]
