None
Cudra Clover's Exotica Hour airs on KAKU 88.5FM, Kahului Maui and streams at www.kakuradio.org Friday's at 5pm HST. Her exotic artwork can be viewed at cudraclover.com. Exotica is a musical genre, named after the 1957 Martin Denny album of the same title, popular during the 1950s to mid 1960s, typically with the suburban set who came of age during World War II. The musical colloquialism, exotica, means tropical ersatz: the non-native, pseudo experience of Oceania (Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Southeast Asia, and especially Hawaii). While the South Seas forms the core region, exotica reflects the "musical impressions" of every place from standard travel destinations to the mythical "shangri-las" dreamt of by armchair safari-er

I spent 7 weeks on Bali with the program director of KAKU Radio and it was there We realized that most of the Balinese music is VERY exotic – I dare say even very EXOTICA. A lot of the songs even have animal and nature sounds in it! So, We decided to make a show and were joined by my crazy and mysterious friend Nick from Bangkok.
Note: The talk-intro is a little long, but the song that comes on right after is very interesting. It’s Kecak dance music (which is done by 70 guys sitting in a circle) put to a modern beat, it’s wild and weird!
Balinese music is some of the most enchanting music You will ever hear and it may make You feel like You are floating on the edge of a dream! So grab a glass of Arrak and enjoy the show….
