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)

Tu a Mi No Me Hundes
Mariachi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya no quiero saber nada
De todo lo que ha pasado
Si he sufrido si he llorado
Si he sentido si he amado
Para mí ya está olvidado
Nada quiero ya saber

Ya no quiero saber nada

De todo lo que ha pasado
Tu recuerdo voy a ahogarlo
Tu amor malo he de matarlo
Que fui tuya he de olvidarlo
Me hizo daño tu querer

Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Siendo la vida tan maravillosa
Llena de sueños y de bellas cosas

Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Perder el tiempo así de qué me sirve
Si solamente una vez se vive

Tú no me vas a hundir
Te juro por mi madre
No me vas a hundir
Tú crees que soy cobarde
Y no me vas a hundir
Te apuesto lo que quieras
Que tú a mi no me hundes

Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Siendo la vida tan maravillosa
Llena de sueños y de bellas cosas

Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Perder el tiempo así de qué me sirve
Si solamente una vez se vive
Qué va, qué va, qué va

Tú no me vas a hundir
Te juro por mi madre
No me vas a hundir
Tú crees que soy cobarde
Y no me vas a hundir

Te apuesto lo que quieras
Que tú a mi no me hundes
