I am much more worried that some time in the near future, some "tiki" musician will release an album of "dark continent" styled music. There have been a few instances of direct and indirect examples of musical plagarism in the tiki scene already. It does dissapoint me, because I believe artists should carve their own niche and not straight out copy the format and concept from other bands. Tikiyaki orchestra was totally the victim of this, and that's a shame, since they were very unique in my opinion. Though I am not the first musician to do "dark Continent" styled songs, (and keep in mind that I was doing "exotic" music for years before I ever discovered this forum, and have only released 1% of that type of material here) I have a feeling my ideas will be ripped off eventually. But good luck with that, because you need more then a casio keyboard and a band of Rhesus Monkeys to make good jungle music!
