About the artist

Arthur Lyman

Arthur Lyman may not be a household name, but his influence on the world of exotica music is truly legendary. Born in 1932 in Kauai, Hawaii, Lyman's unique blend of Hawaiian sounds, jazz, and percussion created a sound all his own. With his trusty vibraphone in hand, Lyman took audiences on a tropical escapade with his lush arrangements and infectious rhythms. Lyman's music transports listeners to a sun-drenched paradise, where every note feels like a sip of a fruity cocktail on a white sandy beach. His albums, such as "Taboo" and "Yellow Bird," are a sonic journey through the lush landscapes of Hawaii, complete with swaying palm trees and crashing waves. Despite his laid-back island vibes, Lyman was a perfectionist in the studio. His attention to detail and dedication to his craft are evident in every track he recorded. From the smooth melodies of his vibraphone to the intricate percussion arrangements, Lyman's music is a testament to his passion for creating beauty in sound. While Lyman may not have reached the same level of commercial success as some of his contemporaries, his impact on the exotica genre cannot be overstated. His music continues to inspire a new generation of listeners, who appreciate the unique blend of culture and rhythm that defines Lyman's sound. So next time you're in need of a musical escape, put on an Arthur Lyman record and let the sounds of the islands wash over you. You may just find yourself transported to a sun-soaked paradise, where the vibes are cool and the music is hot.
