He broke the mold by promoting the role of the harmonica in great formations such as the group ”Color Humano” with a strong impact in Spain and Latin America in the nineties.
The great melodic technique, the play of octaves and his knowledge of percussion determine a surprising singular style. Musician and producer of the international company ”Teatro de los Sentidos” creates sensory shows where the music accompanies us sweetly like a soundtrack.
Now he presents the album ”À l’oreille” with the ensemble ”Le Petit Comité”, musicians and actors who, with their compositions tinged with curiosity and play, take us on a journey with island rhythms, beats from distant mountain ranges and flamenco sounds of the arid
Andalusian lands.
