SURF EXOTICA

VA - Surf Exotica (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

The concept of “Surf Exotica” presents an intriguing blend of two distinct musical genres: “Surf Music” and “Exotica”. This fusion could potentially create a unique auditory experience, combining the energetic rhythm of surf rock with the tropical sounds of exotica.

Originating in the late 1950s, Surf Music is characterized by its instrumental rock and roll music, typically played in a straight 4/4 time signature, with a medium to fast tempo. This genre encapsulates the spirit of the surf culture, with its fast-paced rhythms mirroring the adrenaline rush of riding the waves.

In contrast, Exotica emerged during the same era but offers a different musical experience. It is a form of easy-listening lounge music that borrows elements from world music. However, rather than striving for authentic replication, Exotica focuses on creating a lightweight entertainment experience. It gathers readily identifiable ethnic sounds and blends them into a smooth, easily digested pop form. The term “Exotica” was coined by Simon “Si” Waronker, the co-founder and board chairman of Liberty Records. It represents a tropical ersatz, providing listeners with a pseudo experience of various exotic locales such as insular Oceania, Southeast Asia, Hawaii, the Amazon basin, the Andes, the Caribbean, and tribal Africa.

Presented here are 75 surf exotica tracks, the fusion of these two genres, “Surf Exotica”, combines the instrumental rock and roll elements of Surf Music with the worldly, tropical sounds of Exotica. This fusion results in a unique sound that transports listeners to imagined tropical locales while maintaining the energetic rhythm of surf rock. Although this is a somewhat hypothetical fusion and may not exist as a recognized genre, can be found among surf and easy listening lounge tracks. The exploration of new blends of music is always an exciting journey and I have scoured my collection to find these. The concept of “Surf Exotica” serves as a testament to the limitless possibilities of musical creativity and innovation. (B)
