The Royal Pacific Orchestra - Flower War

"The tune's certainly got the funk and with some cool Afrobeat swing too - this is smooth jazz for a Saturday nights on the dance floor"

Bongo Madness by Don Ralke And Buddy Collette, released on Crown Records in 1957.

Ambient Exotica wrote:

Bongo Madness is to this day a successful take on the then rising market of Afro Jazz or Cuban Jazz. However, it also blends exquisitely with the Exotica genre due to Collette’s effervescent flute melodies and the bold bongo and conga percussion that is used on all of the ten tracks. Don Ralke’s three compositions are specifically worth noting, my favorite being Noche In Havana due to its dreamy painting of a nocturnal peaceful landscape near the capitol. But Don Tosti’s Bellezo Y Diablo is equally outstanding due to its gloomy bass sequences that is foreshadowing an omnipresent calamity.

El miércoles 25 de febrero les tocó a @LesRobots, una de esas bandas instrumentales que tocan con disfraz e instrumentos exóticos como el #theremin.

Dignos de verse.

12 1/2 Geishas Must Be Right by Paul Mark And His Orchestra And The Geishas, released on Sounds of Hawaii in 1963.

Ambient Exotica wrote:

...Recorded in Honolulu.., the stupendous amount of 14 tracks offers a different take on Japanese Folk songs and classics than Mark’s preceding instrumental LP East To West (1961). Whereas that album is created by a septet and features a truly unique and superb mélange of slick Hammond organ chords, bongo blebs, mystical koto twangs and shamisen backings, 12½ Geishas Must Be Right shares much more similarities with classically symphonic structures. A few twists are nevertheless woven in for good measure. In its center is a choir of three geishas who either provide the lead vocals on the respective material or sing together in a cheerful way.

Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday with Far East Goes Western by Tak Shindo, released on Mercury in 1962.

Ambient Exotica wrote:

"J. J. Lilley's and Frank Loesser's Jingle, Jangle, Jingle marks the beginning of Tak Shindo's Far Eastern treatment, and its point of departure will move many Exotica fans: clanging wood sticks, cascading harps and dark Asian temple gongs with a very long rumbling sustain depict a Japanese landscape that boosts the yearning of the audience. An additional shamisen is prominently interwoven…"
