About me

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Professional drummer with 35 years of experience and versatile singer who covers different styles, from a family of prestigious musicians.
I mix instruments on my set to generate different sounds, combining technological instruments with the native ones of Argentina.
I specialize in groove, conceived as the root of music.
I have a lot of experience playing live and recording studio and I constantly develop my drum doctor side and experimental sound programmer.
For a decade, my focus has been on children's music, working as a trainer and teacher; creating solid bases of learning to provide tools to the new generations.
I am an artistic producer of various projects. I interpret different styles fusing rock, hip hop, reggae, folk and jazz. I compose, play guitar and piano in a complementary way.
I hope our universes start connecting!

Tornado y remolino (Twister and swirl)

The song talks about the possibilities that we lose as a result of our own conflicts. It is a dialogue with that inner self that often generates doubt, instability, paralyzes us and does not allow us to relate and move fluidly in our lives.

El Sol (The Sun)

Reza (Pray)

This song has the most primary pulse, that of life and mother nature. It is an invitation to work from the personal in trying to generate from the energy those vibrations so necessary for the harmony of our life in communion with the universe. It is the invitation to that prayer so necessary in these times, prayer beyond religions.
