Aloha, "Oh to be born on one of the South Sea Isles as a so-called savage, for once to enjoy human existence as pure and untainted by a fake aftertaste." (Goethe, 1828) Welcome to Swing and Sway in Hawaii, I am a music lover and DJ from Munich, Germany who has a strong passion for Exotica/ Tiki/ Polynesian Culture & Polynesian Pop. That's why I am organizing a Party called "Swing and Sway in Hawaii" once a year around New Year. I am also behind the "Carnival Hawaii " Party at the famous Atomic Café (Munich) that is always taking place at the end of the German Carnival season. Hawaiian themed parties are happening everywhere and all the time. But for me it is more than just to be dressed with a hawaiian shirt and a lei. I also NEED Hawaiian /Polynesian & Exotic Music for DANCING at the Party. Beside classic Exotica (Denny, Baxter etc.) at the warm-up, I play at my partys Polynesian Pop like Swinging Hapa Haole Tunes, Hawaiian Rock'n'Roll, Otea and Tamoure from Tahiti etc. I also like to mix in a little bid of 60s-Surf, 50s/60s Calypso, Steel Drums and Latin-Exotica tunes, that have a similar spirit. If you don't know how the music sounds that I am talking about, and if you are interested, you can visit my myspace site to take a listen. Thank you very much for your interest!
