Widening The Horizon

Studies exoticism in Post-War popular music. This work analyses the work of Les Baxter, Korla Pandit and Yma Sumac - the musicians who developed the style known as Exotica in the 1950s and 1960s. It also addresses more recent developments in musical exoticism which have revived and reflected the form, such as the career of New Age populist Yanni.
