Our Take

Album Review: Esquivel and His Orchestra - Strings Aflame Prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the world of exotica with Esquivel and His Orchestra's latest offering, "Strings Aflame". Known for their quirky blend of lounge music and kitschy orchestral arrangements, Esquivel delivers another dose of musical madness that is both playful and engaging. From the moment the album kicks off with the whimsical "Lonesome Road", you know you're in for a treat. The strings are indeed aflame, dancing around each other in a frenzy of orchestrated chaos. It's like being whisked away to a tropical paradise, complete with fruity cocktails and palm trees swaying in the breeze. Tracks like "April In Portugal" and "Nature Boy" showcase Esquivel's penchant for reimagining classic tunes in his own unique style. The orchestral flourishes and jazzy undertones make for a delightful listening experience that is both nostalgic and modern. But it's on tracks like "Mini Skirt" and "Mucha Muchacha" where Esquivel truly shines. The playful arrangements and cheeky lyrics bring a sense of whimsy to the album, making it impossible to sit still while listening. Overall, "Strings Aflame" is a delightful romp through the world of exotica music, brought to life by the talented Esquivel and His Orchestra. So sit back, relax, and let the strings take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers to Esquivel for another stellar album that is sure to put a smile on your face.
