I'm a musician and an ethnomusicologist deeply interested in all forms of creativity. In my work, I am always searching for avenues for positive thinking/feeling. I play the guitar, teach, improvise, draw, read, write, and try to keep myself busy practicing and learning anything that can help me be in tune with the world . Here you will find a schedule of professional activities, including gigs, talks, presentations, and more. You will also find samples of my academic research, articles both in English and Spanish, and other creative expressions. Please come back often and make sure to connect with me via Facebook.
