Animala is a PNW based exotica quintet who have recaptured the evocative sounds of mid-century tiki lounges. Like the exotica pioneers before them, they blend the tropical stylings of Polynesian music with cocktail jazz and unidentifiable bird calls. Animala’s lineup features premier musicians on vibraphone, piano, double bass, and a range of indigenous and symphonic percussion instruments. Animala brings their authenticity and dynamic performances to exotica classics from the likes of Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and Arthur Lyman. For armchair safari-ers seeking an escape from reality, let Animala's music transport you to an air-conditioned, tropical paradise.
