A curious artifact of the early 1960s world music scene, this album attempts to capture the sound of Polynesian music through the lens of Western popular arrangements. The resulting blend of tropical exotica and lounge music is unique, if not entirely authentic.
- The album was recorded in 1961 and released by Compose Records.
- The genre is described as world, reggae, and ska, though the reggae and ska elements are anachronistic for 1961.
- The album features instrumental tracks that evoke a sense of the South Pacific.
