Esquivel was known for using stereophonic (stereo) technology in his recordings. With this type of recording technique you can hear the sound “travel” from one speaker to the other. Sit directly in front of your speakers (or with headphones on) and listen to the way the music sounds as if it is coming from one direction and then another. The song Latin-Esque is a great example of this technique.
