He has won several awards and has twice received the Chilean National Music Prize, awarded by the Chilean Government (in 2008 and 2012).[1]Table of ContentsEarly life[edit]Musical career[edit]Solo[edit]Discography[edit]Studio albums[edit]With Mario Rojas[edit]DVD[edit]With Mec\u00e1nica Popular[edit]Other appearances[edit]Soundtracks[edit]Documentary[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Early life[edit]Garc\u00eda studied History and Geography Education at the University of Tarapac\u00e1 in Arica and then moved to Santiago in 1994 to study professional guitar performance (“interpretaci\u00f3n superior en guitarra”) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile with fellow musician Luis Orlandini. His professional career began in 1995 when he founded the band Cor\u00e9 (which also included later members of Chilean band Inti Illimani). However, he left Cor\u00e9 in 1997 and formed his new band Mec\u00e1nica Popular with Diego \u00c1lvarez, Marco Ch\u00e1vez and fellow Cor\u00e9 member Mario Villalobos.Musical career[edit]Mec\u00e1nica Popular mixed rock and trova styles and were influenced by the “nueva canci\u00f3n chilena”, trova, rock and even poetry. They released three studio albums between 1999 and 2003 and now, though formally disbanded, they often support Manuel Garc\u00eda in his solo performances.[2]Solo[edit]Since 2003, Garc\u00eda has worked on several solo projects, one of the first of which was a documentary about the life of Argentinian musician Atahualpa Yupanqui (2003).[3]The same year he was invited to open the festival Mercat de M\u00fasica Viva de Vic[4] in Barcelona, Spain.In 2005, he released his first album, P\u00e1nico (Panic) in collaboration with two members of Mec\u00e1nica Popular, Christian Bravo y Diego \u00c1lvarez. The album received good reviews in the national Chilean media[5]Garc\u00eda’s second solo album, T\u00e9mpera, was released in 2008 with a sound closer to trova, and rock, with references to Violeta Parra and Atahualpa Yupanqui. His raw guitar sound recalls fellow Chilean musician Chinoy, with whom he has shared a stage on several occasions.[6]His third album was called S\/T (2010). Its electric sound (including guitar solos) reveals a variety of influences, though it is considered a simpler album, free of the complex arrangements seen in the previous two.[7]His final record to date, Acuario, again surprised fans with electronic sounds that sometimes recall Gepe or Javiera Mena. Acuario has been called a well-accomplished twist on Garc\u00eda’s signature style, without losing the heart that comes through in his lyrics.[8]Manuel Garcia is part of the line-up for the third edition of Lollapalooza Chile[9] taking place in Santiago in April 2013.Discography[edit]Studio albums[edit]2005 \u2013 P\u00e1nico2008 \u2013 T\u00e9mpera2010 \u2013 S\/T (Altazor Awards winner).2012 \u2013 Acuario2014 \u2013 Retrato Iluminado2016 \u2013 Harmony LaneWith Mario Rojas[edit]DVD[edit]2011\u2013En vivo (Live at the) Teatro Caupolic\u00e1With Mec\u00e1nica Popular[edit]1999 \u2013 Mec\u00e1nica Popular2000 \u2013 La casa de Asteri\u00f3n (nominated for an Altazor Award)2003 \u2013 Fata Morgana2005 \u2013 En plena luz2009 \u2013 Mec\u00e1nica Popular en vivoOther appearances[edit]Soundtracks[edit]1998 \u2013 Fantasmas de fierro2003 \u2013 Las condenadasDocumentary[edit]References[edit]^ Presidente Pi\u00f1era entrego premio a la musica nacional a Buddy Richard, Sergio Sauvalle y Orquesta Sinfonica de la Universidad de Chile Gobierno de Chile website, January 17, 2012.
