Primitiva

Originally released in 1958, "Primitiva" is a rhythmically rich and inimitably exotic Martin Denny experience. Reissued by Jackpot Records on limited edition ocean blue color vinyl, "Primitiva" highlights the burgeoning sound of '50s exotica music, with Denny's diverse soundscape ranging from vibraphones and marimbas to Burmese gongs and Buddhist prayer bowls. This third outing from the father of exotica shines in style with stand-out tracks like "Burma Train," "M'Gambo Mambo," and "Jamaica Farewell" spanning from the Caribbean coast to the South Pacific islands and beyond. Pairing perfectly with beachside Mai Tais and ornamental umbrellas, "Primitiva" is a hallmark of the mid-century's lounge music fascination, replete with animal cries, pulsing percussion, and enough groovy goodness to keep it a mainstay of your rotation.
