He was a member of two large known salsa groups, the "Sexteto Juventud" and "Tabaco y sus Metales", the last of which he founded. He began to train as a musician in the corners of San José. The youth took him by the hand with the street brave salsa, the rebellion of the trombone of Palmieri and Mon Rivera and the casting sound of Joe Cuba's sextet.
