Come, Tiki Tiki Tiki…
It started just yesterday, but there’s already quite a few posts so you’ll get an idea what it’s all about: Come, Tiki Tiki Tiki… is a community to celebrate the music of the 1950s and 60s. Not the rock’n’roll 50s, though, not the doo-wop 50s, not rockabilly or country or blues, not the beat, psychedelic/blues/folk rock of the sixties—rather the more “sophisticated” jazzy orchestra or combo styles, with vocals or without, from films and TV or not, and with a special focus on one genre in particular: Exotica.
Starting in the 1990s, this genre has had its revival in the course of the so-called “Easy Listening” wave. Unfortunately, both intention (read: moneymaking) and choice of songs, but also the very key issue of all trends—the inundation with always the same, over and over—, led to a quick tiring of this movement. Too bad, since there is such an abundance of excellent music, great musicians, and fun buried under the apparent muzak surface!
/cometiki is going to dig for those finds; hopefully some of you will appreciate the joy this kind of music can inspire in our hearts.
