I am a musician in the field of Latin and Flamenco music, with 25 years experience performing, leading musical projects and teaching. Currently I teach at the Community Music Center in San Francisco.

As a performer I have played throughout the United States, including at The Lincoln Center in New York, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, The Ford Theater in Los Angeles, the Alaska Center for Performing Arts in Anchorage, the Telluride Jazz Festival in Colorado, and most major venues and festivals in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have also toured Spain five times.

My field of expertise is traditional and folkloric music of Latin America and Spain. My work as flutist, composer, arranger and leader of the Potaje Ensemble has focused on creating contemporary music based on Flamenco and Latin American traditional genres. I am also a founding member of the Orquesta la Moderna Tradición, possibly the most important ensemble today in the movement to recover and modernize the Cuban Danzon and Cha-cha-cha.
