Death:Death, Cause unspecified 3 January 2002 (Age 83) chart Placidus Equal_H.
Mexican band leader, pianist, and composer for television and films, who is often simply known as Esquivel!. He is recognized today as one of the foremost exponents of a sophisticated style of largely instrumental music that combines elements of lounge music and jazz with Latin flavours. Esquivel is sometimes called "The King of Space Age Pop" and "The Busby Berkeley of Cocktail Music." Esquivel is considered one of the foremost exponents of a style of late 1950s-early 1960s quirky instrumental pop that became known (in retrospect) as "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music". He died on 3 January 2002, aged 83, in Jiutepec, Morelos, Mexico. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
