His influences are many, including South American, Caribbean and African music, as well as European classical music. This brought him to collaborate through the years with Philip Glass, Norah Jones, Bill Frisell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Vinicius Cantuaria, Pete Seeger, John Zorn, Tico da Costa, Thiago Thiago de Mello, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Yasmin Levy. He more recently conducted his own creations with the Brooklyn Orchestra - Symphony No. 1, the tone poems "Charmeuse de Serpents", "Echaurren", and "Les Nuits d'Egypte" – at Carnegie Hall and the United Nations in New York, and in Paris in the Panthéon-Sorbonne's Cour d'Honneur. He is currently working on new orchestral and chamber pieces, a solo piano record and two operas, "Six Scenes from Paradise", which will premiere in the USA in 2023, and "Concert Baroque", based on the novel by Alejo Carpentier.
