It often features lush orchestration and a dreamy, otherworldly atmosphere. The genre was popularized by a number of musicians and composers, who created a unique blend of jazz, Latin, and world music influences. Exotica music is often associated with lounge culture and tiki bars, and has been used extensively in film and television soundtracks.
