Trained in classical music, as a pianist and arranger, he was influenced by his contemporaries Horacio Salgán and, fundamentally, Astor Piazzolla, with whom he performed as a pianist in the 1946 orchestra.
In 1952 he created his own orchestra with Leopoldo Federico. In 1955 he was again summoned by Piazzolla, this time to join the famous Octeto Buenos Aires.
In 1972 he joined Atilio Stampone's tango orchestra, and on October 3 of that same year he recorded "Afiches" with Polaco Goyeneche, with orchestration and arrangement by Stampone and Homero Expósito.
In 2000 he composed "Concert Tango", which was danced by Julio Bocca, from 2000 to 2015 he conducted the Orquesta Nacional de Música Argentina Juan de Dios Filiberto and from 2009 until today he is president of Sadaic.
He composed the musical scores for important films, among them "The Official Story", which in 1985 won the Oscar Award for Best Foreign Film. He also composed the music for the films directed by Leopoldo Torre Nilson "Un guapo del 900" and "La mano en la trampa".
