Happy Hour #267 Modern Exotica

Happy Hour #267 Modern Exotica

Modern Exotica: Martin Denny’s Album Exotica defined one of the most beautiful and obscure genres of midcentury music and was often played in Tiki Bars.  On this show we take a look at the inspirations he created more than half a century later. From the old classics to the modern interpretations of the music from Tim Mayer, Brother Cleve and The Waitiki 7.
