Music like Erica García

Érica García, born April 6, 1974, is a composer, singer and an actress of Argentinian-American descent. She was nominated in the Latin Grammy Awards of 2000 for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for her popular tune "Vete Destino." While best known as a rock singer she also sings tango music and jazz. She has worked as a writer, painter, fashion designer and television personality among other creative endeavors. Part of her ancestry can be traced to the Guaraní people.

García began her solo career in 1996 after 3 years of playing in Mata Violeta, the punk rock band she created in 1991. She made three records for Universal Music Group, the first one was produced by Ricardo Mollo (her partner in the years 1989-1999), the second one (nominated for the Latin Grammy) was produced by Garcia herself and Ricardo Mollo and the third record Amorama, was produced by Gustavo Santaolalla. Rolling Stone Argentina would describe Amorama as "the most important 2001 Argentine launch of the multinational Universal [Music Group]" that following year. García would tour with Enrique Bunbury who would declare that her voice is "born for rock." In 2003, she would perform in the Latin Alternative Music Conference. Of her participation there the New York Times would state, "that night's most impressive showing came in the PJ Harvey-like confidence of the Argentine singer Erica García, one of the few women who plays guitar and writes her own songs to reach international fame in this male-dominated genre."
