Esquivel - More of Other Worlds, Other Sounds


Liners notes
Esquivel's place in the canon of "serious" music is still highly debated. (The Mexican composer openly courted a Muzak-y, easy-listening aesthetic, while his arrangements flaunt elements of kitsch and theatricality.) But whether his creations go by the name of "space age," "lounge," or "exotica," Esquivel's musical brew is unique to be sure. MORE OF OTHER WORLDS, OTHER SOUNDS, originally released in 1962, is a shifting tapestry of galloping Western themes, big-band swing, cha-cha, mambo, and cinematic soundscapes decorated with tinkling xylophones, rolling tympani, reverb guitar, and various strange sounds--all par for the course with this revered cult figure.

Four of Esquivel's originals appear here, including the sprightly, sweeping "Primavera," and the tiki-torch-waving "Chant of the Night." Alongside these are treatments of "I Get a Kick Out of You" (with Esquivel's piano playing alternating between one-finger simplicity and classical flourishes, tongue apparently firmly in cheek), a laid-back, lounge/mambo take on "Dancing in the Dark," and "Street of Dreams," complete with martini-shaking groove. The ensemble arrangements swing in earnest at times, with a wink at others--an ambiguity that rests at the heart of Esquivel's success and appeal.

Recorded in 1962.

Liner Note Authors: Stanley Wilson; Stan Wilson.

Personnel includes: Juan Garcia Esquivel (piano).

Orquestra Românticos de Cuba - Boleros Cubanos



In Brazilian Tupi-Guarani
Nos anos 60, as bandas e orquestras ainda faziam sucesso em todo o mundo. No Brasil, seguindo esta tendência, foi aberto um caminho muito explorado nos anos 70 por cantores, hoje famosos, que gravavam músicas em inglês (Fábio Júnior, Michael Sullivan, Morris Albert) para conseguir credibilidade dentro do país. O easy listening também produziu suas pérolas como a Orquestra Som Bateau, a Free Sound Orchestra e a Orquestra Romãnticos de Cuba.
Lá por meados dos anos 60 surgiu uma orquestra que fez tanto sucesso que
acabou se constituindo em uma febre nacional. Muitos compraram seus discos, e como existe a cultura de o que é bom tem que vir de fora, todo mundo achava que essa orquestra era cubana ou algo como uma orquestra formada nos Estados Unidos por músicos cubanos dissidentes.
Quase ninguém sabia, mas essa orquestra era brasileiríssima! Tiveram que usar esse “artifício” de um nome sugestivo internacionalizado, afinal, quem naquela época compraria discos de uma orquestra brasileira?
Uma série maravilhosa de discos foi lançada e muito vendida até o início da década de 70, mas tamanha foi a pressão da censura atuante da ditadura que esta orquestra simplesmente deixou de existir. Segundo o governo seu nome fazia apologia ao comunismo. Infelizmente a Orquestra Românticos de Cuba foi extinta, porém jamais será esquecida!

In the '60s, bands and orchestras were still successful in the world. In Brazil, following this trend, opened a much explored in the 70's by singers, now famous, who were recording songs in English (Fábio Júnior, Michael Sullivan, Morris Albert) to achieve credibility within the country. The easy listening also produced its pearls as the Orquestra Som Bateau, Free Sound Orchestra and the Orquestra Romanticos de Cuba.
Just because the mid-'60s came a band that was so successful that
ended up constituting a national fever. Many bought their albums, and as there is a culture that is good has to come out, everyone thought that the orchestra was Cuban or something like an orchestra formed in the United States by Cuban musicians dissidents.
Almost nobody knew, but the orchestra was very Brazilian! They had to use this "trick" of a name suggestive internationalized, after all, who would buy records at the time of an orchestra in Brazil?
A wonderful series of albums was released and sold until the very early 70's, but such was the pressure of active censorship of the dictatorship that the orchestra no longer exists. The government said his name was praising communism. Unfortunately the Romantic Orchestra of Cuba has been extinguished, but will never be forgotten!
