There truly isn't anything more hip that the music of Esquivel, so well illustrated with his monster track Mucha Muchacha, that insightful cha-cha big band tune...right up there with tunes like Mambo Italiano. Esquivel must be grinning big time knowing that someone was so moved & grooved by his music to make this video. Right on, Funktuall!!

@funktuall Ironically, Esquivel was much more popular in the U.S. than in his native Mexico. I speak Spanish well and have worked on any music documentaries, so someday I may go to Mexico City in search of all things Esquivel... This is a brilliant video man, such a perfect intro to Esquivel's genius music and your enthusiasm is impressive. This video could have been played at Juan Esquivel's memorial or at any gathering to celebrate his music. Cheers! H.M.

Thank you so much for this excellent video!! I'm sending this one to people that I am trying to explain my obsession with Esquivel, tiki, longe, exotica, bachelor pad music. I've been collecting this genre of music(on LPs) for about 35 years. Recent crate digging and eBay buys have landed me a few Esquivel LPs and some awesome Korla Pandit(blue vinyl on Fantasy label). By far, Esquivel was the real master of the big band exotica and wacky fun music! Thanks for the video!!!!

this is too cool :D I've listened to Esquivel for many years now and it is surprising that most folks are clueless as to who he is and what he did...This video is way cool and informative too :D Thanks man! :D
