Seems that Fluid Floyd from Honolulu's own keeper of the Exotica torch, DON TIKI is programming an Exotica Radio program for a Hawaiian Airlines in flight music channel called "the Exotica Sky Lounge Show" and has added the song "Crossing Kilauea" from the Tikiyaki Orchestra "StereoExotique" CD. The show will be airing on ALL flights in February and March. Needless to say I'm really excited about this, as people going to their vacation in paradise will be able to hear the Tikiyaki Orchestra on their way to and from paradise. Guess I need to book a flight to Hawaii now :P

On my Hawaiian Airlines flight to the Islands the stewards and stewardess's were dressed in Polynesian garb while Don Tiki played over the speakers. They even served Trader Vic's Mai Tai's!!! :) Congrats for getting on the playlist and a BIG thanks to Fluid Floyd for putting together an Exotica radio show!!!!!! Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff

Fluid Floyd hooked me up, and yea, Waitiki is on there,as well as the classic stuff. I saw the playlist, and The Tikiyaki Orchestra track is followed by one of my favorite Martin Denny tracks "The Enchanted Sea". Now THAT'S a nice segue :) Maybe, with Waikiki trying to revitalize it's Hawaiian roots, we may see a resurgence in Exotica Music, even if it's for the sake of nostalgia. Too bad they tore down all the cool Tiki landmarks, tho a few still remain. Maybe we can all get gigs at the Hilton Hawaiian village someday :) [ Edited by: tikiyaki 2007-12-07 19:10 ]

There's not a day that goes by that I don't envision myself at the Mauna Kea resort in that big downstairs area playing a tenor koa ukulele to a scattered few while the surf washes ashore just a few yards behi.... ...gotta go pack.

Listening to the in-plane radio station on Hawaiian airlines is what lead me to this board. On my last trip to Kauai, a couple of years ago I found out the music I loved was the "Exotica" genre and it has been uphill ever since then. Just think...your music might influence a whole new group of wanna-be tiki fans trying to find their way to Exotica. Way to go!!!

Jim, how do you know Lloyd? Funny thing is...I don't...he just emailed me on MySpace and told me he was including it in his program. It was a very pleasant surprise.
