Joan Garriga i el Mariatxi Galàctic

The founder of Dusminguet and heart and soul of La Troba Kung-Fú, Joan Garriga is a key figure in understanding the evolution of popular music in Catalonia in the twenty-first century.

His accordion can accommodate all worlds: the Mediterranean of the habanera and raï, the Latin Caribbean, the reggae and dub of Jamaica and, of course, northern Mexico, which inspired his formative years.
