TIKI VOLUME 1: PARADISE LOST
Capturing the true South Seas and pop culture of tiki mania from around the world, this fascinating documentary offers insight into the work of veteran and present-day tiki artists: writers, musicians, painters, carvers, illustrators and, of course, bartenders! Meet Sven Kirsten, and see Edgar Leeteg’s house in Moorea as well as interviews with Martin Denny, Eric Askew, The Millionaire, Combustible Edison, Shag, Otto Von Stroheim, Tiki Tony, Jeff Beachbum Berry, with locations from New Zealand and Fiji to Germany and Easter Island. Narrated by King Kukulele.
I know where I’ll be on Saturday night.
