Born in Buenos Aires and rocked by the tangos of a vinyl collector dad, Luis made his first steps on the guitar of an old uncle. After an adolescence spent in Buenos Aires, at the neighborhood conservatory where he learned to love the South American popular repertoire and discovered in the midst of a military dictatorship the sound universes of the electronic movements of the end of the seventies (Brian Eno, Bowie, David Sylvian but also Tom Waits, Caetano Veloso…), Luis left Argentina for Europe, which he criss-crossed in every nook and cranny, guitar in hand. He finally chooses France where he settles in papal lands… 

With such influences, the path becomes singular… First incursions into Latin-rock with Madremaria, as main composer, singer and guitarist in the 90’s. Thus a first album, first self-produced and released in France, then resumed by EMI Odeon Argentina in 1997.

Later, in 2002, the need to recharge his batteries led him to find old drum machines, TR 808s and other old sequencers…
