During his adolescence he realized that the situation was turning really bad, times of shotage were awaiting. Among his fellow-countryman, his generation he was an avant-gardist emigrant, claining his flamenco identity, always thinking about a wonderful world and trying to find solutions to the home problems, that was his first objective.
