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. Word is spreading that Zorro himself has joined the cause of Sergent Garcia, and that his faithful servant Bernardo has regained his speech after listening to Un Poquito Quema'o, the band's first album. Well, our two heroes will not be disappointed by Sin Fronteras, their second opus. "No Borders," a fitting title for these sound-barrier breakers. Because among the bands that have made musical syncretism a watchword, Sergent Garcia is without a doubt one of the most inventive on the French scene. A joyous mix of musicians from rock (the leader is a former member of Ludwig Von 88) or jazz (like Pierre-Luc Jamain, composer of numerous tracks), their sources of inspiration are numerous. Their "salsamuffin," a "patented" style combining salsa and raggamuffin, is as explosive as ever. Salsa, reggae, funk—it's all there, with an opening to Africa as well on "Seremos," performed with the duo Amadou and Mariam. The pen of Sergent Garcia remains sharp, and their lyrics, mostly in Spanish, are as defiant as ever. With Sin Fronteras, Sergent Garcia demonstrates that the success of a first album can have fruitful consequences and launch a dynasty of productions of the same caliber. --Thomas Boudrant
