Esquivel was a Mexican band leader, pianist, and composer for television and films and widely considered the king of a style of late 1950s early 1960s quirky instrumental pop known today as lounge music.

The chorus was called upon to sing only nonsense syllables, most famously “zu-zu" ...

Lauren Rogers

That's sort of too bad because Juan Garcia Esquivel had far too many musical ideas in his head. Add some pedal steel to the sound of a big band? Why not?! Zingy wordless vocals? Can you say “Zu Zu Zu!"? How about recording two orchestras simultaneously? Was that stereo? Sort of. I ...
