Exotica is a music genre that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by its use of tropical and exotic sounds, such as bird calls, bongos, and vibraphones. 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.
