Summary
WINNER OF THE BELPRÉ ILLUSTRATOR HONOR BOOKS AWARD! A self-taught Mexican composer, arranger, bandleader, and pianist, Juan García Esquivel was a pioneer in the use of stereo sound in the 1950s and 1960s. Juan's music is quirky, fun, and truly out of this world, with unusual instrumentation, unorthodox vocal textures and effects. Juan was a true musical innovator, using sound and stereo as his musical palette.
