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)

Amor, amor, amor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mariachi's song "Albur De Amor" express the depths of the singer's love and admiration for the object of their affection. The repetition of "amor, amor, amor" emphasizes the intensity of the feeling, while the rest of the verses focus on the uniqueness and purity of their love. The singer believes that their love is the best and cleanest ("lo más bueno y más limpio"), and that there is no one else like their beloved ("igual que tú no hay nadie"). The singer declares their love to be unforgettable ("inolvidable amor") and likens it to a dream ("eres un sueño").

The lyrics also mention the idea of ownership and gratitude - the singer wonders who they can pay to be the owner of this love ("¿A quien puedo pagar? Por ser tu dueño"), which could be seen as a cultural reference to traditional Mexican views on romantic relationships. However, the song ultimately celebrates the joy and fulfillment that their love brings, and the idea that it has brought the singer "toda la gloria" (all the glory).
