Wow, I knew of "Tum-Tiki", but never of "Tiki" by The Mixtures. Wonder what year that is from.

Just found out that The Mixtures 45 is from 1963.

The Mixtures were from Ventura County, California.

I'd love to hear that Tiki song, by the Mixtures.
if you could post it on youtube or somewhere.

edit:
I think I found it

Dispite a hokey Hawaiian War Chant, it's classic quality exotica, but you'd better REALLY like bird calls.

Your Ray Kinney LP, probably w/the always awesome David Kelii on steel, is the real deal.

OK , now I know that Ray Kinney was also known as Hal Aloma :) I was looking at all my records for the Ray Kinney album that I didn't know I owned :lol:

So now some finds from the last 3 days
first the exotic

I have a few of the other surfmen lps but this is my first one of these

now an odd one, Hawaiian Reveries with Elden Chapman on the Lowery organ. This one sounds like he's playing the organ while riding a roller coaster, in a creative attempt to make the organ sound like a steel guitar.

to the islands,






aloha, tikicoma

Whoa, tikicoma...Ray Kinney and Hal Aloma are NOT the same people. Hal Aloma may have performed WITH Ray Kinney's Orchestra at times however. But Ray Kinnney was a vocalist...an Irish-Hawaiian. Hal Aloma, a Chinese-Hawaiian, was a noted steel player & sometimes vocalist.

Thanks Kaiwaza for correcting my mistake. I misunderstood another post I read (oops) but now I'm wondering what lp msteein was referring to when he mentioned my Ray Kinney album? Hawaiian Memories with Hal Aloma maybe? (I do have some Ray Kinney on a cd though). i appreciate your knowledge and that of all on Tikicentral.
aloha, tikicoma

Yesterday I went through 20,000? LPs. This is most of what I came home with.

There are still 80,000+ LPs to go through.

The Friends of the Library Record & Book Sale was this weekend (10,000 LPS in warehouse at the piers...quite a site) & picked up a few LPs. I'm just posting those that I don't think anyone has posted pics of before.....

One of the two major languages of The Philippines, Carmelita Alburo offers those old Hawaii chesnuts Bula Nga Gagmay, Hidung-Gan Ko Ang Imong Awit, & Kinhason Sa Baybayon among others (That would be Tiny Bubbles, Blue Hawaii & Pearly Shells.) I should mention I also have the companion LP, Hawaiian Songs in Ilocano, the OTHER major Filipino language.
[Ming MLS-5286,Philippines, nd].

"Punaauia Beach Place" by the Tahitian group "Tamarii Punaruu." Those records coming out of Tahiti in the 1970s had some great vibrant covers & this one is no exception. Sadly, I didn't realize until I got it home, but it has a different LP inside the jacket (that I have already) by the same group...oh well. [Mauiti/Tamure Records 3001, Tahiti]
UPDATE: I went back on the final day of the sale (when LPs were $5 a BOX...and found the correct LP in another jacket..so I did end up with the right LP..:) )

"Call Of The Pacific", a sampler by various artists from Hawaii, Tahiti, Rarotonga, etc. I like the cover. [Salem, XPS 5052, New Zealand]

This one's interesting, but I haven't listened to it yet. On Kauai island is a sort of combination botanical garden & cultural theme park called "Paradise Pacifica" and apparently, in the 1970s, their entertainers went to Berkeley for some sort of "Columbia Artists Festival." These are selections of the complete "Polynesia!" program performed there...a collection of songs/dances from the various Polynesian islands.
I must say, this is the first time I've ever come across ANYTHING from Paradise Pacifica other than a post card.

Paradise is a state of mind.
