“He is 25 years old and has charisma to spare…. The Radio-Canada 2020-2021 world music Revelation launched his début album, titled Vengo de Frente, last February. Its five pieces astonish listeners with their maturity and cohesion” (Ici Musique, 2020). Embracing a rock-and-roll background and solidly steeped in traditional Afro-Colombian beats, this solo performer, who is also the singer with the group Lengaïa Salsa Brava, stirs Latin music in an unexpected concoction, electric and progressive in character.
