This genre emerged in the 1950s and 60s as a commercialized version of traditional Polynesian music. It features lush, orchestral arrangements, exotic instrumentation, and lyrics that romanticize Polynesian culture and island life. The music became popular in tiki bars and restaurants and is still enjoyed today as a nostalgic and kitschy form of entertainment.
