Details: Product Description Third album for Paris-based songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who blends salsa, reggae, hip-hop & jazz into a style he calls 'salsamuffin'. 2001. Amazon.ca The pampas are in shock. Rumor has it that the great Zorro himself has rallied to the cause of Sergeant Garcia and that his faithful servant Bernardo has found his voice again when listening to Un Poquito Quema'o, the group's first album. Well our two heroes will not be disappointed with Sin Fronteras, their second opus. "Sans frontières", an appropriate title for these sound barricade breakers. Because among the groups that have made musical syncretism a watchword, Sergent Garcia are undoubtedly one of the most inventive on the French scene. A joyful mix of musicians from rock (the leader is a former member of Ludwig Von 88) or jazz (like Pierre-Luc Jamain, composer of many titles), their sources of inspiration are numerous. Their "salsamuffin", style "patented" by the group combining salsa and raggamuffin is still as explosive as ever. Salsa, reggae, funk everything goes there with also an opening on Africa with "Seremos", performed with the duo Amadou and Mariam. Sergent Garcia's pen is always very sharp and their texts, mostly in Spanish, are still just as assertive. With Sin Fronteras, Sergent Garcia demonstrate that the success of a first album can have fruitful consequences and open a dynasty of productions of the same barrel. --Thomas Boudrant
