He began his musical education at the age of three and a half on the violin. A few years later, his father, a musical and national hero in Paraguay, dared young Carlos to learn the complicated 36 string native Paraguayan harp.
He made his debut on harp with the Oakland Symphony and his debut on the violin with the Oakland Youth Symphony at just fourteen years of age. He has worked in the professional recording industry for commercials, solo artist and instrumental background music for the acclaimed childrens shows Sesame Street and Villa Alegre when he was still in his teens.
Carlos thrilled thousands of loyal followers with the Jazz-Rock group Merlin as they played all over the SF bay area.
Carlos's first album, The Beauty of it All, was on the Top-Ten Contemporary Jazz charts in Billboard Magazine for over 15 weeks. His solo harp collaboration on Sugo records titled Harvest Moon, has received rave reviews since its release. His latest recording entitled Children of the World and Sesto Sensohave recently been released in Europe and have had great response at radio. Soon to be released will be two more CDs that until now were only available in Europe. He has backed such artist as Chuck Mangione, Bill Evans, Clark Terry, Pat Travers, MC Hammer.

Touring in Europe and representing Paraguay at the worlds fair in Hanover Germany he was received with standing ovations and given a medal from the Vatican for his musical contributions. Out of that tour he was invited to perform in Italy for the well known Latinoamericando Festival and at the world famous Ariston Theater in Torino which a 10 minute documentary on Carlos was made out of that show and aired on Italian national TV and through out Europe. His performances in Europe keep bringing him more and more invitations to share his special kind of music.
His latest musical journey was a special invitation as a soloist to play and record in Havana Cuba with the great flautist El Tosco. He heard Carlos was in Cuba playing and asked him to perform and record. This was one of the most magical and musical moments of my career says Carlos.. El Tosco named Carlos EL Monstro Musical ..The Musical Monster What an experience!
Recently returning from tours in Asia and South America he keeps sharing his brand of music to more and more parts of the world with great reviews. Carlos has been invited by the Ministry of Education in Paraguay to come back and give concerts.
