He was one of the bands of Eddie Palmieri and Kip Hanrahan , with whom he recorded several albums and also performed in Europe. He also worked with Arnaldo Antunes . He can also be heard on albums by Jack Bruce , Emmanuel , Alfredo Rodriguez and Silvana Deluigi . In 2001 he released his debut album, which was followed by other albums. He also composed the music for several short and documentary films and for Leon Ichaso's thriller Paraiso .
