Together with other musicians, he founded 'Brath' in 1980 without texts in their songs. At the beginning, he was the drummer and percussionist of the group but from 1999 onwards he also sings. In 1985 and 1986, he directed and presented a programme in the radio station 'Ondas Galicia R. Minuto'. In 1985, he was awarded the First 'Galicia' Journalism Prize to the best musical programme.
