Sergent Garcia joins Baco Booking and will be touring in 2024 with a new album!
For 25 years, Sergent Garcia has been getting Europe and North and South America to move with his infectious rhythms. The term "salsamuffin" that he coined encapsulates the fusion of rumba, ska, reggae, dancehall, and Latin and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, all born from his research into the musical legacies of Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Colombia, and more.
His political commitment, his clear stance in support of minorities, migrants, and environmental protection, are central themes in his songs, some of which are anthems of resistance and courage.
With no fewer than 9 albums and 3 successful EPs, including a nomination for the Victoires de la Musique and another at the Latin Grammys, he has marked numerous generations and become a reference for many artists. His timeless music has evolved with each project, from productions made at home with machines to recordings with a full band of musicians, dub versions created in his sailboat studio "Guakamayo," live albums, and more. Every time, we get to enjoy a unique new recipe from the Sargento!
In 2024, Sergent Garcia will deliver a new album to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his band, which will be touring in full force: an outstanding lineup of musicians from Cuba, Spain, French Guiana, and mainland France, with brass sections, percussionists, and backing vocalists. They'll be celebrating this milestone and album release while bringing their legendary classics ("Amor pa Mi," "Yo soy Salsamuffin," "Les Desaparecidos," "Yo me voy pa' la Cumbia," "Tonite"…) to life. This is a live experience not to be missed!
