TONIGHT: Diego Garcia @ World Café Live

POSTED: Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 10:00 AM

Diego Garcia is no longer the Elefant man, never again to be chided for his irksome MC5 rawk with his Detroit outfit (His name is also not to be confused with the footprint-shaped coral atoll found near the Equator). The Argentinean crooner and instrumentalist has forged a newer dreamier brand of pop for himself that sounds like that Morrissey fantasy that every Latin man in Los Angeles holds dear. On his debut solo CD Laura, the smooth romancer goes for lovelorn lyrics and blissed-out arrangements ripe with live string sounds but touched with Latin musical flourishes and soft rhythms. From “Separate Lives” to “You Were Never There” (the latter, a catchy and hauntingly atmospheric track co-penned by Dhani Harrison (son of the Beatle, George), Garcia’s new album proves it was the right time to go it alone.

Catch him tonight at World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St. (worldcafelive.com).
