Martin Denny - Primitiva

Limited edition pressed on Lagoon Blue vinyl

Originally released in 1958, Primitiva is a rhythmically rich and inimitably exotic Martin Denny experience. Reissued by Jackpot Records on limited edition Lagoon Blue colored 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 such as "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, and is replete with animal cries, pulsing percussion, and enough groovy goodness
to keep it a mainstay of your rotation.
