Description:

LIMITED EDITION 500 COPIES INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED ON CLEAR VINYL! During the 1950s, 'Father of Exotica' Martin Denny helped American audiences expand their horizons by incorporating Asian, Polynesian, and Latin instrumentation into his group's easy-listening repertoire, along with birdcalls and other sounds, spawning a new genre that took the nation by storm< he toured South America and had a residency in Hawaii earlier on, embedding such elements. Third LP Primitiva is a total delight, Julius Wechter's vibes and marimba contrasting Tak Shindo's koto and August Colon's Latin percussion: 'M 'bira' and au Mau' draw us to Africa, 'Llama Serenade' to Peru and 'Bangkok Cockfight' to Thailand, the closing amaica Farewell' a reconfigured Caribbean sunset. Strap in and enjoy this wild, mild ride! -

*Originally released in 1958, Primitiva is a rhythmically rich and inimitably exotic Martin Denny experience. Reissued by Jackpot Records on limited edition ocean blue color vinyl, Primitiva highlights the burgeoning sound of '50s exotica music, with Denny's diverse soundscape ranging from vibraphones and marimbas, to Burmese gongs and Buddhist prayer bowls. This third outing from the father of exotica shines in style with stand-out tracks like "Burma Train," "M'Gambo Mambo," and "Jamaica Farewell" spanning from the Caribbean coast, to the South Pacific islands, and beyond. Pairing perfectly with beachside Mai Tais and ornamental umbrellas, Primitiva is a hallmark of the mid-century's lounge music fascination, and is replete with animal cries, pulsing percussion, and enough groovy goodness to keep it a mainstay of your rotation.

Jackpot Record reissue released on Lagoon Blue vinyl in addition to Afro-Desia and Exotica II. Catalog # is JPR 079 on jacket front, jacket rear, and labels; JPR-079 on jacket spine. Runouts are etched.
