The Baja Marimba Band was a popular musical group led by marimba player Julius Wechter, initially intended by producer Herb Alpert to cash in on the "south of the border" craze started by his own Tijuana Brass. However the Baja Marimba Band outlasted the Tijuana Brass by several years, thanks largely to producer Chuck Barris featuring the Baja Marimba Band music on his game shows through the mid-70s.
