WAITIKI has received its second nomination for the Hawaii Music Awards. We were first nominated last year for our debut album "Charred Mammal Flesh: Exotic Music for BBQ," and were duly honored: not only with the nomination (and subsequent "Exotica Album of the Year" award), but also with the creation of a category for Exotica. As far as we know, last year was the first time an awards/recognition program in Hawaii had a category for exotica music! This year, we are honored to be sharing the Exotica category with Jim Bacchi's TIkiyaki Orchestra project. May this be the start of a long and prosperous category for tikiphiles and musicians alike. WAITIKI's nomination is for our sophomore release: Rendezvous in Okonkuluku. VOTE ONLINE HERE. A valid email address is required, and only one vote per email address is allowed per day. You can vote multiple times by voting from separate email accounts, and on different days. About RENDEZVOUS IN OKONKULUKU: Available on CD and 12" Vinyl LP; purchase online, or on iTunes. Features original compositions by WAITIKI's own: The Mayor of Exotica (Tim Mayer), Mr. Ho (Brian O'Neill), and Prof. Humming Flower (Randy Wong) and exotica classics by Martin Denny, Paul Conrad, and Les Baxter Guest musicians include Mistress Helenini, The Real Drank Sumatra, and the Maunawili Bird Society Artwork/illustrations by Sam Gambino; photography by Jason Goodman; modeling by Sherry Shaoling Produced by Br.

Brother Cleve did a magnificent job of making the already awesome songs sonically intricate and entertaining. Although I like the ambient nature of exotica, I love the melodies and counterpoint of a well-crafted song as something you can hum. Which way's the door? Sorry lady.
