The veteran musician was recognized worldwide for his long artistic career and tour of orchestras such as El Conjunto Libre, Batacumbele and Apollo Sound where he created unforgettable themes of the genre.
He also served as a percussionist and salsa composer. This led him to belong to other groups such as the Batirrítmicos, Chacón, Broadway, Manny Oquendo, La Conspiración, El Conjunto Libre and Charanga América.
One of the most representative themes of the artist is the theme “How do I make you understand ”, Which was also played by Gilberto Santa Rosa. The melody brought his group with Roberto Roena to international fame.
“How do I make you understand that I miss no one else, that I need nothing more than your presence, that nothing hurts me like your absence does,” says the lyrics of the song from the album My Music, released in 1996.
