Description

Born in Madrid (Spain) in 1984, he began his studies at the age of 14 at the Maestro gombau music school (Madrid).

At 16 he makes his first debut in a series of flamenco festivals called "Los Almaizares", playing with José de Luna.

He is a student of the most renowned flamenco percussionist "El Piraña". Also Lucky Losada, Ramón Porrina and Sabú.

While growing up in flamenco, I was taking Afro-Cuban lessons with Miguel "Anga" Díaz, multipercussionist Pepe Espinosa, singer and percussionist Pedro "pedrito" Martínez, José Luis Quintana "Changuito", Tata Guines, Giovanni Hidalgo and much more.

He studied in Cuba with Chucho valdes percussionist Yaroldi Abreu and with Adonis Panter and the percussionists of the group Yoruba Andabo.

The most inspiring form of his music is the multi-instrumentalist and bassist Alain Perez (Grupo Paco de Lucía), also his teacher.

On the path of purest flamenco, he studied at Amor de Dios (Madrid Flamenco School) taking the rhythm of the most interesting part of flamenco ... "The dance", and developing that in the CAJÓN ... Beginning to perform with rhythmically virtuoso flamenco dancers such as Alfonso Losa, Niño de los reyes, Juan de Juan, Antonio and Manuel Reyes, Antonio Canales and many more.

He also knows African drums, Bata, Djembe, Dum Dum, Brazilian percussion, Afro Peruvian and Indian music, which leaves him the space to mix cultures.

He has been playing with incredible jazz, flamenco and world music artists like:

Alain Pérez, Richard Bona, Jorge Pardo, Chano Domínguez, Antonio Rey, Antonio Serrano, Javier Limón, Antonio Canales, Jerry González, Montse Cortés, Javier Massó Caramelo, and Tino di Geraldo.
