By the time RCA Victor issued pianist/arranger Juan García Esquivel's first American LP in 1957, he was already a popular star at home in Mexico with several releases. It was the rediscovery of Esquivel that helped kick off the full-blown renaissance that this peculiar brand of easy listening music received in the mid-90s. This music is most frequently labeled variously as Space Age Pop, Exotica or Lounge Music, depending on how expansive the artist umbrella for that category is.
La orquesta del maestro Juan García Esquivel, acompañada por el grupo mexicano armónico vocal Los Cuatro Soles, a quien alguien llamó muy acertadamente "los dioses de la armonía", integrado por Antonio de Gyves (Ixtepec, Oaxaca), Daniel Cabrera "Gasparín", Eduardo Licona y Francisco Pedroza.

I think this album has "Jungle Drums" on it, to me it's his definitive piece. This selection is very tasty. I have the album, but I don't know where it is!

After discovering Esquivel here on Youtube, I keep being blown away
by him. I was born in '71 so I can't
comprehend the influence he had
on the (then) new stereo sound. It
is TOTALLY on another level.
