Apart from recording more than 70 songs for Pichilemu, he has recorded dozens of tangos and milongas, with as much or more feeling than an Argentine citizen, since a large part of his childhood and youth lived in Argentina, where the family of he emigrated; which did not prevent him from disaffected from Pichilemu, since he returned in the summers to vacation and sing.

His tremendous love and generosity towards our community and his people earned him -in 1997- the title of "Illustrious Son" of Pichilemu, a distinction that he carries with great pride.

His best known songs are: “I want to go back to Pichilemu”, “Estrella de Soledad”, “Noches de Pichilemu”, “Tonada para el Macaya”, the oldest recorded on vinyl records in the early 70s. And later on cassettes and CDs, where he has praised characters and events that occurred in community history.

However, his most important works are his books on various aspects of Pichilemu, such as works referring to Bernardo O'Higgins, José Miguel Carrera, Manuel Rodríguez, Simón Bolívar, Violeta Parra, Alexander Von Humbold, Carlos Gardel, Jorge Luis Borges, about Tango, to Ecuadorian characters where he was based in his physical distance from Chile until he emigrated to Germany where he remains until now.
