"Coco's" career took off in 1970; by fifteen he was a professional musician. That same year, he was invited by Vinicius de Moraes to play in "La Fusa" Punta del Este, Uruguay. Coco went on to pursue a solo career in Buenos Aires, often performing with other talented musicians. Important for his musical development was Herminio Gimenez, one of the greatest Latin American composers of all time.
