So during the Pandemic I was playing around with creating my own online radio station. Having some time on my hands I took it a little further and also created an Alexa skill so you can stream from your echo devices.

I had created quit an extensive playlist of mid century Tiki, Polynesian, and Hawaiian inspired music. I mostly built this station to use in my own backyard tiki bar, but wanted to share with the community.

There are a couple ways you can listen, if you have an internet radio streaming app or you want to stream from your browser just use the following URL https://radio.theforbiddencoconut.com/stream.ogg

If you want to add the Alexa skill to your echo device you can go here. https://tinyurl.com/forbiddencoconut

Enjoy and Aloha,

Description: Tiki culture is a celebration of tropical escapism. It's a longing for the time when Pacific islands were still exotic locales that inspired Donn Beach and Trader Vic to create their own versions back home. It all started in 1934 with the first Don the Beachcomber tiki restaurant, and was rejuvenated in the mid-90's with the printing of The Book of Tiki by Sven Kirsten. Pull up a chair, sip your Mai Tai, and study the tsantsa-covered ceiling while listening to the sounds of the Hukilau.

What is tiki: Things that are tiki: Tiki mugs. Tiki bars. Tiki cocktails. Aloha shirts. Luaus. Witco. Oceanic Arts. South Pacific culture. Trader Vic's. Don The Beachcomber. Martin Denny. Les Baxter. Mai Tais.

Things that arent tiki: Hot rods. Lowbrow Art (Rat Fink et al). Surf music. Jimmy Buffet. Margaritas. Science Fiction.
