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

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

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." García played and recorded in the Los Angeles musical collective
Fool's Gold. She recorded and produced her fourth album ¨Afternoon in Bamboos¨ in
Silver Lake, Los Angeles, 2006. She created the band Mountain Party to play the Hypnorituals and Mesmemusical miracles Hanging in the sky, an iconic folk festival curated by
