[nizxbit]

Dislike Esquivel = have no soul.

[kikebjj]

@nizxbit he doesn't needs soul cause he made chill out alive!

Esquivel!!!

If you want to show off your new 1958 to 1970 stereo sets, you play things like this. I'm still looking for his version of "Jungle Drums". My copy is missing. Esquivel Rules!

[SenhordoBonfim]

I love Esquivel!!! : D

[usbeko]

De México para el mundo, el Genio de Esquivel.

[jakubpetricek]

Hola mexicano, estuve de viaje en Mexico hace 12 aňos y pregunataba a la gente sobre Esquivel. Nadie lo conocía, ni su música. Es genial! Conoces a Combustible Edison? Es un grupo de EE.UU. Son como seguidores de Esquivel. La música es bien parecida y se puede oír en la pelicula Four Rooms. Saludos desde Praga. J.

@jakubpetricek si tienes razon ay una frase que dice nadie es profeta en su tierra a veces uno es mas conocido en otros paises que en su propio pais

BUENISMO SIMPLEMENTE

[henkychif]

Hey, CrackerJackLee (by the way, you stick to my teeth), I just bought a Piero CD from Amazon because of you. Muchas Gracias!

[prizkabon]

ESQUiVEL RULES!!! me encanta!!!

[skunkiee]

that music brings you to the hapiness galaxy!

[ELRANDY11]

ESQUIVEL=UNEQUIEL

[Mannasmami]

QUE MARAVILLA!!!!

[sicilianotoronto]

it's purely kitchy and campy, but fun.

[singedrac]

I used to collect Esquivel specifically because I thought the music was so cheesy and horrible.

Now I love it. :)

[abelitro12]

Arreglo tremendamente original y transmite alegría de vivir. Que bueno que la música de García Esquivel ha tenido un renacimiento.

[georgieBOOM]

YES.

[ProTwoAm]

My favorite song from 1959 (I still have the original 45)! The odd jew's-harp-sounding intrument is a 17th Century French piano-like invention called an ondoline. Thus the inspiration for the song's title.

[cronosopium]

Viva Esquivel¡¡¡

[iqcab78]

DJ's: Take a lesson!

[robotummy]

during my early twenties i was obsessed with les baxter and martin denny, but when i finally discovered esquivel i never looked back. his music is a lot quirkier, way more fun to listen to, and shockingly inventive, and without any of the sometimes almost racist, exoticist undertones of the other lounge musicians that made me feel guilty for enjoying them (the same reasons for feeling weird about liking peter sellers in the party). thank you very much for posting this!

[CrackerJackLee]

These are the Seven Lounge Lizards: Piero Umiliani, Arthur Lymon, Enoch Light, Henry Mancini, Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and Esquivel.

[chkjns]

There were only 7? I love all these guys - they were musical wizards ! ! ! ! ! !

[1966BOBBY]

This is the music that plays in my head when I walk up to the local shops: Waving to the locals, ruffling the hair of a local street-urchin, catching an apple from the greengrocer, high-fiving a traffic warden...

[rkay51]

Best comment I have read on youtube, I think!

[CadillacL]

I've discovered Esquivel this past year. It addictive. I can just imagine the reaction from listeners back in the day. Stereo just coming out & blowing the minds of listeners. Don't get much better then this. I was born in '71 but, today's music just has no SOUL...this does.

[uhmerikuhn]

I'm soooooo glad these are getting on YouTube !!!

[jamiekush]

Try to hear this on an old Quadraphonic Hi-Fi sterio. Or headphones!

[alejandroxrev]

Locura en Technicolor!!!

[64098]

Someone should post his arrangement of "Jungle Drums" circa 1957, it's so fifties hi-fi.

[soulstargy]

this is brilliant

[chakoh1]

exotic stereo madness! love it!!!thanks for posting!!!

[pseudop0d]

awesome

[64098]

Best exotica/lounge/cocktail EVER!

[lonelyboy03]

[doctorsatanist]

[doctorsatanist]

Esquivel is a genius.
