“Rendezvous in Okonkuluku” to be featured on Hawaiian Airlines’ “Exotica Sky Lounge Show”!

Category: Rendezvous in Okonkuluku, Tiki in the Mainstream, WAITIKI

Just got word from Fluid Floyd of Don Tiki fame that my composition “Rendezvous in Okonkuluku” will be one of 20 tracks featured on Hawaiian Airlines’ Exotica Sky Lounge in-flight radio show. A clip of the tune, which is the title track on WAITIKI’s second album, can be found here or at the iTunes Music Store.

Track personnel are:

  • Tim Mayer, flute & baritone sax
  • Brian O’Neill, vibraphone, udu, & reco-reco
  • Helen Liu, violin & sleigh bells
  • Mikey Connors, drums
  • Me on bass

Bonus points if you can name the composer, work, and movements that the tune quotes. Hint: the composer in question lived from 1860-1911.

If you like the idea of an Exotica radio show on a commercial airliner, drop Fluid Floyd a line via the coconut wireless: taboorecords [at] yahoo [dot] com.

Thanks Floyd!

    The first composer that comes to mind is Charles Ives.
