He collaborates with a wide array of artists, from Grammy-nominee colombian icon Nidia Gongora to Angola's prince of semba Paulo Flores, french creole MC Greg Frite, danish hip hop crew Dafuniks, Haiti's Kephny Eliacin, etc. Satingarona pt 1, pt 2, and La ñapa came out respectively in 2016, 2019 and 2022 to worldwide critical acclaim, from France Inter to BBC6, FIP, Radio Nova, KCRW, Worldwide radio, NPR, Gladys Palmera, Radio Canada, WDR Cosmo Radio, Radionica, Songlines, Le Monde, etc
