His songs like 'Peter Pan' and 'Hay Mil Maneras de Derrotar a Un Hombre' found a home in Spain.
For a sense of his tone, try 'Peter Pan' or 'Dos mil recuerdos'. They're both straightforward and a little worn-in.
He writes songs that feel like small, lived-in stories. 'Hay Mil Maneras de Derrotar a Un Hombre' is a good example, it's direct and plainspoken. His work with Pablo Milanés and Silvio Rodríguez places him in a certain lineage of Spanish-language songwriting.
He started with the album 'Golosinas'. Later records like 'Raíz' and 'Mararía' followed, and his band has included guitar player Antonio Toledo. The 2003 song 'Perdi Tudo' stirred some debate over its lyrics.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
