Musician

Martin Denny

Born:

Martin Denny was an American pianist and composer best known as the "father of exotica." In a long career that saw him performing up to 3 weeks prior to his death, he toured the world popularizing his brand of lounge music which included exotic percussion, imaginative rearrangements of popular songs, and original songs that celebrated Tiki culture.

Denny was born in New York City and raised in Los Angeles. He studied classical piano and toured South America for four and a half years in the 1930s with the Don Dean Orchestra. This tour began Denny's fascination with Latin rhythms. Denny collected a large number of ethnic instruments from all over the world, which he used to spice up his stage performances.

Giorgio Cuscito: Exotica

Read "Exotica" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Saprà divertirsi un mondo a ripercorrere suoni di “cartapesta hollywoodiana turistica" stile Les Baxter, ma di certo sa piazzare bene le mani tra i fogli sparsi di un genere, l'exotica, suadente e patinato quanto impregnato di sano colonialismo culturale.
