In Focus: Juan García Esquivel

Mexico City, 19.03.21

Focus on Juan Garcia Esquivel

Mexican band leader, pianist and composer Juan García Esquivel, also known monomously as Eqsuivel!, is regarded as the father of space age lounge music. Fusing big band instrumentation, latin rhythms and psychedelic, futuristic textures, Esquivel brought innovation and experimentalism to easy listening. He also applied this spirit of innovation to the recording of the music itself, pioneering brand new stereo techniques during the 1950s and '60s.

Find something comfortable to lay back on as we journey through the spacious easy-going pop of Juan Garcia Esquivel for this edition of In Focus.
