Originally from Paraguay, I grew up in a house were there was always a Harp, my father plays the Harp but not professionally he was a merchant seamen, but every body on his family play Harp, Guitar Accordion or contrabass.
Wen i was fourteen years old my Father brought me a guitar that i love so much that i used to put it at rest in my bed and cover with a blanket, until one night my sister jump in the bed without knowing that the instrument was there and broke the guitar in pieces. After that i have my heart broken for the first time and cry for several days.
From that day on i just started to practice how ever i can wen some one bring a guitar home i was always watching and asking to teach or show me something i was just want to learn this beautiful instrument, and i did, then i start to play with another friends and family members in festivals, church, family reunion, fairs, serenades, i was just try to get most play in front of peoples as i can.
At 19 i got the opportunitty to become a part of a group called "Conjunto de Arpas y Guitarras Guarani" which was a set of Harp and Guitars consisting in 10 Harpist and 4 Guitarist, with this group we travel with in the Country also Argentina and Brazil.
After this, I got the opportunity of going to play music at a restaurant called "The Wharf" in the Cayman Island with fellow Harpist Eugenio Leon, i stay there for 4 years.Then i move to Miami and here i start to produce my music on CDs
i started to play clubs and different venues with my group until i play in one particular club were i was attack and knocked unconscious in the parking lot of the club, i was lucky to survive, from that day on i promise my self that i have to do everything possible to put my music out there, because it felt i was given a second chance, now am back on my feet and doing what i always want it to do, play the guitar for living, and is a life long journey for me.
