First steps

He studied piano with Margarita Morosoli de Picardo from age 6 to 11, and then with Nelly Jimenez, Pedro Burian and at the Leonor Aranda's High Pianistic Studies Institute. His harmony teachers were Luis Canete and Carlos Schwartzman.

From age 22 and until 1983 he was part of the pop group “Los Aftermad's;” with them he recorded many albums, including songs written by him. In the 80s he was part of the jazz group “Opus 572,” and he mostly offered classic piano recitals on his own.

Career

Discography

Among his main works:

“Canto para ti” (I sing for you) y “Que mas da”(Whatever), recorded by “Los Aftermad’s”,

“Carola”, recorded by Andres Boiarsky in Buenos Aires, in 1986;

The soundtrack of the movie “El porton de los suenos” (the dream gate), from filmmaker Hugo Gamarra, about the life of Augusto Roa Bastos;

“Juego de ninos” (children's game) (1995) is the title of a CD leaned toward folkloric music with an obvious jazz influence, which broadcasts more of his creative talent (“Avy`a jave” and “Navidad,”) and presents new versions of all-time Paraguayan classics, like “Asuncion” by Federico Riera song dedicated to Paraguay’s capital.
