It's basically a 1970s take on a roaring 20s sensibility, but with odd instrumentation, including steel drums. You might check out some of the Charleston songs or some of the 70s dixieland revival stuff. You might also enjoy this ditty by the prolific Kevin MacLeod... | |

The closest thing is I've found is "hot jazz", so I'm accepting your answer. Really though, I haven't found a single song that has the same general "feel" or "character" as "Cantina Band". Might be because almost all of the hot jazz I found was from the 20s, or it might be that "Cantina Band" is somehow different.. I'll still take other suggestions for similar sounding songs if anyone has thoughts. | |

| Oct 3, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | Chris Sunami | @Bebs True, there's a lot of overlap between these categories. And I'm not suggesting gipsy jazz never has wind instruments (just like ragtime isn't always just piano). But it's largely inspired by the work of guitarist Djano Reinhardt. I did upvote your answer, however, I think it's correct, I just wanted to expand on it a bit. | |
