From Cali, Colombia, Diego is an up and coming percussionist who started in music at a very early age inspired by his uncles, who used to play percussion as a hobby at all the family functions. Intrigued by percussion instruments while in school Diego started studying formally and very soon he was playing for local orchestras. After high school Diego started playing professionally for bands in and out of Colombia and these tours took him around the world.
Among Diego's latest accomplishments are his participation in the latest recording by puerto rican flutist Nestor Torres which was nominated for a Grammy and Latin Grammy for Best Latin Jazz album as well as the gold and platinum recordings with Rey Ruiz and Tributo a la Salsa Colombiana.
