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)

El Microbito
Mariachi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quisiera Ser Un Microbito
Que Habita En Tu Cuerpo
Ay, Para Estar Muy Calientito
Casi Todo El Tiempo
Beber De Tu Sangre
Y En Tu Carne Descansar
De Ti Me Voy A Alimentar
Quiero Vivir En Una Arteria

Junto A Tu Corazón
Tu Cuerpo Para Mí Sería
Como Una Gran Mansión
Correr Por Tus Venas
Y En Tu Sangre Siempre Estar
De Ahí Nadie Me Podrá Sacar
Haré Una Alberca En Tu Ombliguito
Pa' Meterme A Nadar
Y Si Me Voy Más Abajito
Nadie Me Sacará
Beber De Tu Sangre
Y En Tu Carne Descansar

De Ti Me Voy A Alimentar
De Ti Me Voy A Alimentar!
