A friend played a little of this for me one night back in 1995 and I laughed so hard I ran out and got the CD right away. It’s hard to find occasions to play it, although it’s quite fun for livening up a long work session (if your co-workers don’t threaten to destroy the disc). I have a few other Esquivel albums too, probably more than I should.
