Korla Pandit Turkish Dance

Korla Pandit is considered by many to be the godfather of exotica music. His live show Adventures in Music on KTLA in Hollywood was the first all music television show ever broadcast and featured Korla wordlessly sitting behind his Hammond organ, playing and staring wistfully into the camera.

Wow, what a coincidence! This is the way we celebrate Saturday nights in my household!

i wonder where those dancers are now?

His expression at the end made me laugh

This is from such a long time ago. My mother, long dead, (I"m elderly), adored Korla. He was quite the rage in the early 50's, and back then everyone believed anything. Hey, it wasn't that long ago from when Orson Wells played his prank, and people believed it.

@culturaleyes are you contending that this is in even an approximation of turkish culture? but yeah it's still entertaining

[culturaleyes]

Exotica is such a bastardization of other cultures, but heck back then, since this was the best presentation you could find through mass media, I'd say it was downright entertaining.
