His first compact disc, for the Tango Sur label, was released the following year. Thereafter tours and festivals followed until in 2001 he joined two aggregations, the quintet Cinco para el Tango and the Orquesta Matos Rodríguez.

One year later he was invited by the World Trade Center and the Sheraton Hotel of Montevideo to performer at the show «Valoremos lo nuestro» alongside outstanding Uruguayan and international artists.

He was called by the renowned musician Francisco “Pancho” Nolé to join his staff and, later, he recorded his second disc, De mis sueños con el alma that includes, also, a medley of poems and lunfardo speeches. Furthermore, he recorded another compact disc along with Olga Delgrossi and the pianist Miguel Ángel Barcos.
