The Baja Marimba Band was an American musical group active from the 1960s to the 1970s. Led by Julius Wechter, a marimba and vibes player, the band was known for its distinctive Latin sound, with a focus on marimba music. The group was a significant part of the "exotica" genre, which mixed Latin, lounge, jazz, and pop sounds. Notable for their amusing album covers and humorous live performances, they achieved commercial success with albums like "Baja Marimba Band Rides Again".
