Juan Garcia Esquivel used to be born in Mexico and grew as much as the sounds of mariachi bands. He loved music and turned into a musical explorer. Defying convention, he created music that made other people laugh and planted images of their minds. Juan’s space-age front room music–popular within the fifties and sixties–has found a brand new generation of listeners. And Duncan Tonatiuh’s fresh and quirky illustrations bring Esquivel’s spirit to life.
