Sergent Garcia

Sergent Garcia mixes cuban salsa and reggae with other styles. His first record - in which other artists are included, mainly the Locos del barrio - is a real success in France. This album conceals songs with energy (salsa endiablée) and some more quiet (Palinque).Lyrics deal with love, poverty, chamanism, Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos ... a very latin background. The audience judges his second album is flat and remains less famous than the first one. A similar atmosphere with less strength and beauty. His last record changes everything. The sergent got a new style: he changed his Panama hat and cigar against a very R'n'B look. His music changes with his appearance. The songs go by but don't sound alike. The album is recorded in Jamaica,Cuba and France. The music is resolutely Caribbean in the rhythms and sound. One song is partially sung in creole, another one is close to reggae and the rest is more about salsa. Sergent Garcia worked very hard and radically changed with this album.
