Mariachi experiments between improvisation and noise music. The setup is ultra minimal: 1 guitar, 1 pedal, 1 amp. Everything is focused on the gesture and the sound research of the instrument: its resonances, limits, expansions, impurities, all the audible parts of the guitar: to go with or against it, to contain it or to let it go, to support it or to hurt it. You will probably find: feedback, crackling, short circuits, impacts, harmonics, grindings noises, overflowings, notes and an almost perfect chord.

Her first LP was released in October 2018 on No Lagos Musique and Doubtful Sounds. Nina Garcia was born in 1990, she lives and works in Paris.

She has performed at Instants Chavirés, Paris / Sonic Protest, France / LUFF, Lausanne / Cave 12, Geneva / Café de la Danse, Paris / All Ears, Oslo / Mayhem & JazzHouse, Copenhagen / Café Oto, London / Echoraum, Wien / Occii, Amsterdam / Ateliers Claus, Brussels / Worm, Rotterdam / Festival Banlieues Bleues, Pantin / Musique Action, Nancy… She also plays in the band Mamiedaragon, in duet with trombonist Maria Bertel (Selvhenter, Ymers Pizza) and with drummer Augustin Bette (Where Is M.R?).

"Guitar, pedal, amp… this utterance might sound classical nowadays. However Nina Garcia solo project makes it unheard of. Her group mamiedaragon describes itself as "no wave no noise no tapes". Perhaps this is a sign of a post post-punk hyper removal strategy? Not yet. The apparent negativity of her arrangement overturns, or "explodes like a piñata", under the innovative pressure between fingers and metal scrap, in search of a soundwave to chisel, round off, taper and slash" (Luff 2016)

A la Luz de los Cocuyos
Mariachi Lyrics

Hay amor de mis amores
Te vengo a cantar mi copla
Ando lleno de ilusiones
Y quiero besar tu boca

Quiero decirte cositas
Que traigo dentro del alma
Pero como son bonitas
Quiero decirlas con calma

Yo no sé si vengas tu
Yo no sé si vaya yo

Pero has de sentir mis besos
Y yo he de sentir los tuyos
Y hemos de quedarnos presos a la luz de los cocuyos
Te quiero mirar bonita
Sin pena y sin orgullos
Y quiero echarme en tus brazos
A la luz de los cocuyos

Cuantas noches de tu vida
Habrás pasado conmigo,
Contando las estrellitas
Y solo Dios de testigo

Siempre con la cara al cielo
Cobijados por la luna
Contando las estrellitas
Beso y beso una por una

Yo no sé si vengas tu
Yo no sé si vaya yo

Pero has de sentir mis besos
Y yo he de sentir los tuyos
Y hemos de quedarnos presos a la luz de los cocuyos
Te quiero mirar bonita
Sin pena y sin orgullos
Y quiero echarme en tus brazos
A la luz de los cocuyos
A la luz de los cocuyos
