Cantante y comositor de trova jíbara que inmortalizó en las letras de "A Cayey me voy", "Cerca de Cayey" y "Mi mulata" el amor a este pueblo que acuñó hasa en su nombre. Recordado por sus cantos jocosos en las Dianas y entre campesinos. Subió a tarima en el Teatro Angélica de Cayey y en diversas presentaciones en New York, donde apagó su voz. Enterrado en su Patria junto a su guitarra.
