Our Take

Welcome to the whimsical world of Juan Garcia Esquivel, where retro-futuristic sounds collide with a dash of Latin flair. In "To Love Again / Cabaret Tragico," the legendary composer and arranger serves up a delightful mix of lounge, exotica, and space-age pop that is sure to tickle your eardrums in all the right ways.

From the opening track, "To Love Again," Esquivel sets the tone with his signature blend of lush orchestrations and quirky sound effects. The track grooves along with a sultry bossa nova rhythm, while horn stabs and vibraphone flourishes add a touch of kitschy cool. It's like sipping a martini in a tiki bar on Mars.

On "Cabaret Tragico," Esquivel takes us on a journey through a surreal cabaret where the line between comedy and tragedy is delightfully blurred. The track is a whirlwind of dramatic strings, jazzy brass, and eerie theremin wails that evoke a sense of playful unease. It's like watching a Fellini film while tripping on acid.

Throughout the album, Esquivel's knack for reimagining traditional genres with a playful twist is on full display. Whether he's serving up a swooning ballad or a raucous mambo, he never fails to surprise and delight. "To Love Again / Cabaret Tragico" is a must-listen for anyone who craves music that is as adventurous as it is entertaining. Buy it, stream it, whatever you need to do – just don't miss out on this musical gem.

About the artist

Esquivel and His Orchestra

Ah, Juan Garcia Esquivel, the quirky genius of space-age bachelor pad music! Hailing from sunny Mexico, Esquivel burst onto the scene in the 1950s with his innovative blend of lounge, jazz, and Latin sounds. With his signature "ping-pong" stereo sound and lush orchestral arrangements, he quickly became a sensation in the music world. Esquivel's music is like taking a trip to another dimension, where everything is swathed in technicolor and accompanied by the sounds of a cocktail shaker. His playful, surreal compositions are a feast for the ears, blending elements of mambo, cha-cha-cha, and bossa nova with a healthy dose of kitsch. Known for his flamboyant stage presence and love of all things retro-futuristic, Esquivel is a true original in a sea of imitators. His albums have become cult classics among fans of exotica and lounge music, and his influence can be heard in the work of artists as diverse as Stereolab, Cibo Matto, and Beck. In a world that sometimes takes itself too seriously, Esquivel's music is a much-needed dose of whimsy and charm. So put on your space-age suit, mix up a martini, and let Juan Garcia Esquivel take you on a musical journey like no other. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
