At the end of the ‘80s he formed the group ‘Jazz Borondón’, has participated in over 200 recordings & collaborated with Kike Perdomo, José Antonio Ramos, Carlos Miyares, Macaronesis, BK4, Big Band de Canarias, Taburiente, Taller Canario de la Canción, Chiqui Pérez, Pedro Guerra, Rogelio Botanz, Andrés Molina, Los Sabandeños… At the same time, he has developed his activity as a teacher and is currently a tutor of Bass, Contrabass, Improvisation & Accompaniment, Modern Ensembles & Jazz Initiation at the ‘Conservatorio Profesional’ (Professional Conservatory ) of Tenerife.
In this edition of ‘Canarias Jazz & Más’ he will present his new disc, titled, “Con Finad@s”, that came about “from the experience of living three months of strict confinement, and the following year while I tried to remain in touch with all those who had been & still are part of our life and music, which is one and the same thing ”. This new work is a compendium of ideas, songs, grooves “about which I proposed to some amazing musicians with whom I have had & still have, the enormous luck to share my life with during many years”. Jazz fusion, funk, Canarian folklore, Afro & Latin rhythms are found in a simple format that made it possible for each one “to add to the improvisation & interact from different and distant places and times. This is like a ‘parranda’ (carousal) of jazz fusion… or a jam session”.
