The WAITIKI 7: New Sounds of Exotica

Happy holidays, friends!

Just a quick message to say: Everything in the WAITIKI Shop (http://waitiki.com/shop) is now on sale! We reduced prices for all our music (CDs and vinyl LPs), comic books, and posters. Want to buy a box of CDs as stocking stuffers for your family or coworkers? Contact us (info@waitiki.com) for extra wholesale holiday prices. All of your purchases help fuel the revolution; they go directly towards the production of future high-quality exotica albums, tours, and our educational outreach initiative Exotica In The Schools.

Also… The Waitiki 7’s critically-acclaimed debut album, “Adventures in Paradise” is now on iTunes.

Our thanks to you for helping us make 2009 a wondrous and successful year for our music!

Drink up with us at the last Tiki Sunday, tomorrow (11/8) at our favorite watering hole, Drink (348 Congress St., Boston). John Gertsen, Sam Treadway, Misty Kalkofen, and others will be serving up some of our favorite tiki cocktails—like the Zombie, Natatorium, Helen The Pacific, Jet Pilot, Wai Tai, and others. Enjoy some great exotica and the company of friends like us!

Santa Salsera, host of the WXDU program Azucar y Candela speaks highly of our album Adventures in Paradise. Salsera writes:

Exotica is back, baby. Not your typical “salsa dura,” nonethless, the Latin backbone is authentic, the musical approach pure jazz. This album is a special liqueur. Recapture your own personal cocktail hour (drink recipes are included with the liner notes) and go with the wave.

Live in the Raleigh-Durham area? Tune into Azucar y Candela on WXDU 88.7 FM, Wednesdays 6-8 PM.
