This brought him to get to know and to initiate a friendship with the likes of the famous international Don Pancho Terry (Eladio Terry), Evelio Galan, Cuco Castellanos and many others important Cuban artists. All of them have been like a music conservatory about the essence of Afro-Latin Music.

Now he is working on the promotion of his music and in conversations with a Salsa dance director in Dublin to produce two more music videos.
