Latin rhythms in the Tonga Hut ?? !! Tiki or not Tiki ?? :lol: This might be the missing link.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQWULusKoIw (I was going to post the Annette version but this one was way cooler) More proof positive that the Tonga Hut is the epicenter of the Tiki Revival movement when it comes to art, music, mixology, and historic Tiki street cred. The Tonga Hut is the Hong Kong Cafe to DTBC's Madame Wong's (for anyone who gets that Punk Rock reference). :D And... If this is the direction that the Revival is going, then I'm on board the train.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-sWTPYExh0 (Thanks Lucas Vigor for the link) And here's another piece of the Tiki/Latin puzzle cross-over that I just discovered. That main guy on the vibes (Julius Wechter ?), I think he played with Martin Denny (replacing Arthur Lyman !!) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-04-04 11:20 ] |

Yep, he is the guy who replaced Arthur Lyman. You gotta wonder how great Marty's new project is going to be! Marty is a great musician, with impeccable taste in music...and he has got SQUID!!!!!, (who is one of the best drummers around). This should be a very exciting thing! But, they should have hired this guy on bass, (talentless hack that he is!) |

You know I really think this is the next logical step in the Tiki Revival. As Polynesian-inspired Exotica was winding down by the mid-60's, the "south of the border" craze was picking up steam with Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band. Even Martin Denny got into the act with "Latin Village" and "Spanish Village" and Arthur Lyman released "Aloha Amigo". I think Marty Lush is really on to something here !! Every new trend needs a buzzword. How about "Mexi-Tiki" ? Can Tiki Fiesta 2011 be far behind ? [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-04-07 18:29 ] |

You might be right there Mr. Squid. I hate to see the scene devolve in the wrong way. Remember that classic scene in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre":"Tikis ?? We ain't got no Tikis. We don't need no Tikis. I don't have to show you any stinkin' Tikis !!" (Or something like that) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqomZQMZQCQ BUT on the other hand, wasn't Herb Alpert just a nice Jewish boy from L.A.'s Fairfax district ?? I don't think anyone in the TJB was Latino. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-04-07 18:30 ] |

I know everyone's treating this like a big joke but personally I'm looking forward to seeing a live performance of how Exotica evolved (devolved?) in the latter part of the 1960's. Even though the "Latin" music of that time was as inauthentic as Poly-Pop Exotica, it did make for some ultra-cool mid-century sounds. Most people just associate that time frame with hippie music so this is a refreshing change. Hopefully this isn't a one off. |

No no, I didn't want to put a damper on things or spoil any of the fun. It's just very interesting to me how the popular "Latin" sound of the mid-60's had roots in earlier Exotica music. There IS a Tiki connection here !! :) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-04-07 19:29 ] |

Yeah, yeah... leave the tikilectual crap for them egghead threads. We're doin' this show to offend and annoy as many people as possible (approximately 50 per Los Angeles Fire Code)... but mostly to get their 8 bucks! Just think of it: 400 bucks divided by 7 guys, minus Lush's bar tab........ We're freakin' rich!!!!! And by the way...thanks for YOUR 8 bucks JOHN-O! Lush already squandered it on a new pair of lime green spandex tights. |
