About this user

Cuban born guitarist Victor Garcia-Rivera is a veteran of the 1980's North American underground music scene, and comes from an extended family that includes luminaries such as actors Andy Garcia, Dominik Garcia-Lorido and Jordi Vilasuso, jazz guitarist Al DiMeola, acclaimed Cuban painter Oscar Garcia-Rivera, Cuban jazz drummer and teacher Fausto Garcia-Rivera, and drummer Alex Garcia-Rivera [Shelter, Piebald, Saves The Day]. Christened "Johnny Cuba" by Joe Strummer of the Clash, Victor toured with his band The Edge, playing gigs with the most important bands of that scene, such as Dead Kennedys, Husker Du, No Fx, Conflict, Gang Green, Dinosaur Jr., Descendants, DOA, and dozens of other legendary bands. He released several records and CDs and had a video on MTV. Foreign bands as far ashore as Japan have covered and recorded his songs. In the 1990s, he formed one of the first Spanish rock bands in the USA, Arranca, and caused controversy when his punk reworking of the Cuban national anthem was censored, both by the Cuban government and by militant Miami exiles. Recently he has been recording with Last Gang in Town and Xpats.
