Tiki Oasis 11 is right around the corner and I am happy to announce that we have a stellar entertainment lineup.

We all know that Exotica music - the cornerstone of Tiki - owes a lot to our brethren to the south - Mexico and Latin America. In fact Latin music has always been a rich part of American popular culture from Cha Cha and Merengue to Mambo kings, Latin Jazz to Rock En Espanol. But North America's embracing of Latin music piqued in the mid-1960s with the debonnaire, Latin-styled trumpet player Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass band. It is this romanticized Mexico that we seek to celebrate this year at Tiki Oasis!

  • Jack "Mr Bongo" Constanzo & His Latin All Stars

  • Don Tiki - first west coast appearance ever
    http://www.dontiki.com/

  • "HERB" a tribute to Herb Alpert

  • Big Sandy & Los Straightjackets - a rare appearance together en Espanol!
    http://www.yeproc.com/upload/media/view_media.php?id=404

  • Mark & The Escorts - orig 1960s East L.A. Latin sounds

  • Latin tinged Exotica from Tiki Joe's Ocean (Seattle) in their first ever live show including an all-star cast

  • King Kukulele

  • Marty Lush & his Latin Livers - words cannot describe this act fronted by the man, the myth, the legend that is Marty Lush

  • Orchestra Superstring - with a fresh new CD out, DJ Bonebrake's Latin jazz sextet is sure to thrill you

  • Frankie's Baja Marimba Mania

  • Surfer Joe & his Boss Combo (Italy) traditional 1960s Surf sounds from former Wadadli Riders

*The Hula Girls

  • Creepxotica

  • Jason Lee & the RIP Tides

  • Tiki King

and an All-Star DJ line up from around the country

va para el rock!

I'm pretty excited to see Tiki Joe's Ocean in the line-up. I love the records; the music should sound pretty good live.

I just told my tow-truck driver about Oasis.

My battery ran down, I needed a jump, called the Auto Club and 10 minutes later a hepcat with tats up one arm (and only one arm) (what's with that?) turned up in a HUGE tow truck. The battery juiced up no problem and I ended up telling him all about Oasis. He's coming. His name is Hopper.

For anyone that might be interested.
The 4th annual Surfguitar101 convention weekend will be the week before Tiki Oasis.
I have wanted this to work out this way for the last 3 years.
more info here: http://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/14201/

So If anybody is coming from out of town/state/ or country.
You could possibly do both weekends, then hang out in So. Cal.
and check out all the other stuff, and tiki places during the week between.

If you have any questions, about the convention,
or any of the pre and post shows,
hit me up at Bigtikidude@yahoo.com

Hey, it will be good to see you VanTiki, last year was wonderful. Otto is probably caught in the land of computer glitches.

Back to the Bob's. Wendy
