Bizarre Discotheque: Karla Pundit • Journey To The Ancient City

Extract of "Widening the Horizon: Exoticism in Post-War Popular Music edited by Philip Hayward"

The lounge revival has also resulted in a tribute band called Karla Pundit, whose CD Journey to the Ancient City (1996) pokes loving fun at Pandit. The musie clearly is meant as an homage - it is serious and sincere. A comment at the end of the liner notes reads: "[a]ll musie was ... performed with the greatest respect for and as a tribute to Korla Pandit, its inspiration, and is in no way mean to belittle or ridicule his musical achievements" (Kaufman, 1996). Pundit, whose real ñame is Lance Kaufman, does parody Pandit in some ways, mainly in his talk about the musie. The liner notes to Journey to the Ancient City, rather than employing something resembling Pandit's rhetoric of "the universal language of musie" and love, instead parody the dry, descriptive style of a scientist, or perhaps more to the point, National Geographic, which would have been quite at home introducing an adventure program on 1950s radio. Also, Los Angeles-based lounge revivalist Joey Sehee helped resuscitate Pandit's career in the mid-late 1990s. Sehee produced Pandit's Exótica 2000 (1996), and performed live with Pandit. Sehee also makes short films that affectionately lampoon lounge culture, in which Pandit occasionally made a carneo. However, both Pundit and Sehee are far from the centre of mainstream popular music.

Souce ...

Obscure artists and eclectic music.

El renacimiento del salón también ha resultado en una banda de tributo llamada Karla Pundit, cuyo CD Viaje a la ciudad antigua (1996) muestra diversión amorosa en Pandit. La musie claramente se entiende como un homenaje, es serio y sincero. Un comentario al final de las notas indica: "[a] ll musie fue ... interpretada con el mayor respeto y en homenaje a Korla Pandit, su inspiración, y de ninguna manera significa menospreciar o ridiculizar su musical logros "(Kaufman, 1996). Pundit, cuyo verdadero nombre es Lance Kaufman, parodia a Pandit de alguna manera, principalmente en su charla sobre la musie. Las notas indicadoras de Viaje a la Ciudad Antigua, en lugar de emplear algo parecido a la retórica de Pandit del "lenguaje universal de la musa" y el amor, en lugar de parodiar el estilo seco y descriptivo de un científico, o tal vez más al punto, National Geographic, que Hubiera estado como en casa presentando un programa de aventuras en la radio de 1950. Además, el revivalista salón de Los Ángeles Joey Sehee ayudó a resucitar la carrera de Pandit a mediados y finales de la década de 1990. Sehee produjo Pandit's Exótica 2000 (1996) y actuó en vivo con Pandit. Sehee también hace cortometrajes que afectuosamente satirizan la cultura lounge, en la que Pandit ocasionalmente hace un carneo. Sin embargo, tanto Pundit como Sehee están lejos del centro de la música popular convencional.
