| | Introducing Esmerelda Strange CD (2007)
 $12.69
She's a singer, songwriter, and one person band. I don't know if anyone comes close to Esmerelda Strange these days. She is known for her saucy sense of humor and salty lyrics, as well as her eerie and evocative music.”Introducing Esmerelda Strange” is the first CD by this feisty and original talent. ”My favorite song on the album that just came out is "Ballad of Flight 901," an homage to the rockers who have died in plane crashes. Carroll was reciting his friends who died mostly of drugs. No-Fi Magazine. She sings both in English and Spanish. Esmerelda Strange..One Woman Band!Esmerelda plays the accordion and drums and sings all at the same time.She sings in English and in Spanish.Ms. Strange would describe herself as a punk rock band, but her musical influences and the resulting product contain elements of urban folk, cumbia, circus music, Norteno/ranchero, and an Eastern European gypsy sound. But in a clean sweep of the living room I found it again and here I am reviewing it for you. This album has lots of catchy tunes under 5 minutes featuring Esmerelda singing along to her accordian and some nice beats too. What about Judy Tenuta?”Carl Macki. She plays--accordion, drums -- and sings -- she combines ethnic Latin and Eastern European and gypsy sounds with an urban punk estethetic with a little rockabilly and early rock thrown in--and alternates between singing in English and Spanish. 
Esmerelda cites some of her musical influences as Celso Pina, Queen Ida, Boozoo Chavis, Clifton Chenier,Those Darn Accordions, The Tiger Lillies, The Pogues, Calexico, Mano Negra, El Gran Silencio, Astor Piazzolla, Lou Reed and The Clash. “San Francisco has been the fermentation grounds of many a strange and wonderful bands. As someone who used to have to be coaxed onto an airplane with huge amounts of alcohol, I found this song especially charming. Containing 9 songs, this 31 minute CD is sure to become a treasured item in the musical collections of the offbeat and obscure.Here are some things that have been said about Introducing Esmerelda Strange:"So here I was set to review this album and then I lost it. Compare with "People Who Died," by Jim Carroll. I just happen to be fans of both!"Chris Beyond. Fans of Dame Darcey and THE CENTIMETERS would probably be into Esmerelda's music and what do you know? My favorite tracks are "Ballad Of Flight 901", "Te Quiero Mucho", and the album opener "Introducing Esmerelda Strange".
