He was a violin prodigy who did much to popularize Latin-American dance music in America. He began playing violin on his own accord at the age of six. He played in his church then studied at the Conservatory of Music in Barcelona, and received the degree of Professorship of Violiln at the age of thirteen. All of his early training in music was classical.Shortly thereafter he did recitals in America and decided to stay in New York and study with the celebrated Russian violin teacher Leopold Auer, studying with him for four years before returning to Europe.
A tour in Cuba opened his eyes (and ears) to Latin music and he quickly added the music to his orchestra.
