Biography
Born in Spain from a Cuban father and an Irish mother. The last of six children, Javi started playing the guitar when at 12 years old, he left Madrid to attend boarding school in Ireland. After 2 1/2 years the Franciscan Headmaster told him that even-though he loved hearing his music in the school halls Javier's behavior would be better suited in another school. So he moved with his father in Miami and attended Coral Gables Snr. High. By the age of twenty he released his first CD with Fonovisa simultaneously in the Latin markets of U.S.A., Puerto Rico , Europe, Mexico and South America. He achieved gold record sales in three countries with a funky Latin Rock fusion. His first single "Tranquila" went to the top of the charts " (J.G.) ...I think Tranquila turned into a success because it has an uplifting quality about it , and people all over are dying to dance to some killer Cuban rhythms mixed with whatever... but the real need is for roots, that's what I offer." After touring for a few years he focused on his second album, which he produced together with multi Grammy Award Winner Gustavo Santaolalla. Universal Music will launch his second album on March 2005. Some of the musicians in the album include Arturo Sandoval, world renowned trumpet player, Abe Laboriel jr.(Paul Mc Cartney's drummer), Smithsonian inducted "living treasure" Francisco Aguabella on batá, etc... " (Gustavo Santaolalla)... I think this album will make a mark in the world of music..."

Remix - 1998
The dozen-track release is comprised of remixes, with the exception of the opener, the new song "Lágrimas Negras," a cover of the song originally written by Miguel Matamoros. While there are a dozen songs here, giving Remix a full-length running time, keep in mind that there are multiple remixes of the same four songs: "Lágrimas Negras," "Tranquila," "Estaba Ciego," and "A Casa." García gives these four songs a surprising diversity of spins -- from ragga to speed garage interpretations, for instance, showcasing his grasp of numerous musical styles and thereby foreshadowing the diversity of his next release, 13

Bueno Javier amigo no te puedo decir que te veo pronto pues no pisare tu continente hasta verano 2007 pero por ahora solo te envió mis mas cordiales saludos y abrazos desde mi pequeño rincón aquí en mi Puerto Rico. Nada espero poder saludarte en o antes de Julio de el próximo año y recuerde siempre que la HUMILDAD prevalece y lo demás envejece. cuida te y se te quiere de gratis. Good Javier friend I cannot say to you that I see soon you but if I am visiting to you in hood single I wish the best thing you of the world and that you take care of yourself because the atmosphere in these days this because outside it orbits but nothing remembers that HUMILITY prevails and the others ages Bu on amico di Javier non posso dire a voi che li vedrò presto ma se sto visitandolo a voi in cappuccio singolo augurili alla cosa migliore del mondo e che vi prendete la cura perché l'atmosfera attualmente in questo perché fuori di esso orbita intorno a ma niente si ricorda di che il HUMILITY prevale e gli altri invecchiano Bon ami de Javier je ne peux pas dire à vous que je vous vois bientôt mais si je me rends visite à vous dans le capot simple souhaitiez-à la meilleure chose vous du monde et que vous prenniez soin de vous-même parce que l'atmosphère dans de nos jours ceci parce qu'en dehors de lui orbite mais rien ne se rappelle que l'HUMILITÉ règne et les autres vieillit ATT: Tuco El Humilde
