¡GARCÍA! – SOUNDTRACK FROM THE ORIGINAL SERIES LP
Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Santiago García and Luis Bustos, published by Astiberri Ediciones, the action-adventure spy series ¡GARCÍA! follows Antonia (Veki Velilla), a young reporter who quickly becomes embroiled in an elaborate political conspiracy after accidentally defrosting a cryogenically frozen secret agent from the 1960s. Finding himself thrust into a fractured modern world, Garcia (Francisco Ortiz), a former pawn in fascist dictator Francisco Franco’s regime, must rely on Antonia’s help to fit in – and decide where his loyalties lie amid a conspiracy to upend the Spanish government. Thrilling and fast-paced, ¡GARCÍA! spans six decades in Spain’s tumultuous political history, seamlessly blending satire and suspense for a genre-bending adventure of epic proportions.
Filmmaker and composer Eugenio Mira not only directed the six-episode series, but composed, arranged and produced a retro spycraft score to match, orchestrated and conducted by Julio Awad. Mondo has previously produced vinyl releases featuring Mira’s work on TIMECRIMES and GRAND PIANO, and we’re honored to add his latest thrill ride to the list. 
“Words can’t describe how flattered, excited and overwhelmed I am by this gorgeously lavish edition of my soundtrack for the series ¡GARCÍA!” says Mira.
“As a filmmaker, I sometimes can’t draw the line that splits my work as a director and a composer. With this project in particular, for the first time in my career, there’s no trace left of that line. Embodying an array of different music genres that go from Latin symphonic jazz to electronic music, ¡GARCÍA! is the most ambitious score I had the chance to write so far.
You’ll recognize nods to Goldsmith, Herrmann, Mancini and Schifrin among many others, and yet, I’m positive you’ll be surprised by the constant shifts in mood and style along the way.
I can’t wait for you to drop the needle! Thanks to Mondo for making this astounding item a tangible, visual and audible reality.”
