What can I tell you about Juan Garcia Esquivel that any self-respecting fan of space-age-pop doesn’t already know? Not much... so I won’t even try. You can look up some info here and here if you’re really clueless.
I want to pay tribute to the king of space age pop on this week’s show because I like to do artist birthday tributes once in awhile (Esquivel was born on January 20, 1918 and died on January 3, 2002)... but also because – even though many of us who rediscovered this kind of music in the 90s have moved on to digging up up other obscure stuff – it’s good to remember how things started.
Two songs with a snow-theme start the program (‘cuz it really snowed for the first time this season just last week), two Esquivel remixes follow (from last year’s Esquivel tribute), and the show closes with a track that’s as close as I can get to Canadian content when playing Esquivel music.
