He also joined the group "SHE'S FRENCH" which included Sergio Castillo, Tato Gomez, Paco Saval and Serge Maillard ; great musicians
who would also play an important role in future projects.From 1977 to 1990 he lived in Cologne, Germany where he formed the band "SANTIAGO" with Tato, Paco , Serge and Mario Argandoña
