About Me

I'm an accountant (really!).Someone taught me how to sing well (I really thank him)...I used to sing on stage in the 90's but I entered in a hiatus that hopefully will finish soon. I played drums in Argot during the 80's. In the 90's I sang with Pepe Loayza in Burocratics for a couple of good years. We recorded with Joni Chiappe and Nico Mantani a cover of Talking Heads for an international tribute CD compiled in Holland and it had good reviews asI have been told. (Our version of 'Television Man' was heard by the actuals ex member of TH and I know Chris and Tina like it..I don't know what David Byrne thought about it -anyway Joni made lots of latin arrangements thinking about him :))In 1998 We formed LOS PINGLOS with Joni Ch. and Carlos S. and we still haven't finished the recordings yet(nice songs,good songwriting)I don't know when these will be finished..let's stay tuned.And me? I'm rehearsing with a limited schedule. My influences? Please see list at the left........................................................ IMPORTANT NOTE:If you're interested in my music please see LOS PINGLOS' My Space page at .............................................http://www.mysp ace.com/lospinglos ........................
