His extensive research comes from a lifetime love affair with music and his consummate passion for unusual sounds. For the past two years he has presented his Exotica seminars to enthusiastic crowds at the Hukilau event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His ultimate goal is to share, educate and enlighten people with this extraordinary and fascinating form of music. This year Jeff will present an ever-expanding version of his music seminar. The show will include an introductory overview of Exotica pioneers Martin Denny, Les Baxter and Arthur Lyman, and also chronicle more obscure artists such as Eden Ahbez and Jimmy Namaro. As an added bonus Jeff will highlight the career of Hollywood film composer Robert Drasnin. Bob's quintessential first album Voodoo is considered by many to be a masterpiece of the genre. Bob will also be making a special guest appearance. Join us for an entertaining and educational journey into the world of Exotica. Bosko Show and tell with artist/sculptor/mug-maker/carver/Tiki historian Bosko whose trail-blazing career spans over two decades of Polynesian Pop's resurgence. This talk will have an emphasis on his own carvings as he chronicles the development of his unique style of Tiki sculpture, what his influences were, technical hurdles which had to be overcome and more. Bosko will "talk story" about growing up in the epicenter of America's Tiki movement that was 1960s Los Angeles ... to Tiki's dark days in the eighties when all had forgotten the movement, and Bosko became the first to bring back the lost art of Tiki carving and producing Tiki mugs, eventually designing the first new Tiki bar in the U.S. after Tiki's downfall, Taboo Cove in Las Vegas ... right up to the vibrant Polynesian Pop scene of today. Tiki Modern author Sven Kirsten calls Bosko "the pioneer of the Tiki revival."
