******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY ********************

Exotica is a musical style that was conceived out of Martin Denny’s first musical album back in 1957 which of the same name, “Exotica”. It was a genre that got popular with American back in the 1950s toward the middle of the 1960s. Exotica, as a musical idiom, particularly means tropical ersatz, or the non-native, quasi-experience of Oceania (Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia), Southeast Asia, Hawaii, Amazonia, tribal Africa, and the Andes. Denny opined that Exotica was a style that is a “combination of the South Pacific and the Orient...what a lot of people imagined the islands to be like...it's pure fantasy though."

The characteristic Exotica sound is breathe to life with the use of a medley of instruments, including bongos, Indonesian and Burmese gongs, conga, Tahitian log, vibes, boo bams (bamboo sticks), Japanese kotos and Chinese bell tree.

Les Baxter’s 1952 album, Ritual of the Savage (Le Sacre du Sauvage), propagated Exotica music with classics such as "Quiet Village", "Love Dance", "Jungle River Boat", and "Stone God." Baxter came out with more music of this style in the next few years, with hits like "Caribbean Moonlight" (1956), "Tamboo!" (1956), "The Sacred Idol" (1960), and "Ports of Pleasure" (1957). Baxter admitted that his inspirations came from the music of Stravinsky and Ravel. Other notable Exotica artists are Juan García Esquivel and Arthur Lyman.
