Sergent Garcia is the band formed around French singer Bruno Garcia (1964, France) who had previously been the guitarist of punk band Ludwig Von 88.

Sergent Garcia’s music is a mixture of cumbia, reggae, salsa, ragamuffin, rock and other trends in a new style which he defines as salsamuffin.

He published in 2011 his sixth studio album, Una y otra vez (Cumbancha/The Gwagwita), recorded between France, Spain, Cuba and Colombia.

In 2023, he released a single, entitled “¡Cuando Salga El Sol!”, accompanied by a video in 2024. Also in 2024, he embarked on a tour, entitled the “Salsamuffin Tour” to celebrate 25 years as a solo artist.^[1]
