Works

His major local hits under his own name include "Kung Fu", "El Gato Volador", "Chacarron Macarron" and "Dame Tu Cosita" (which features Jamaican dancehall musician Cutty Ranks).

As a producer, El Chombo is best known for producing Lorna's 2003 hit single "Papi chulo... (te traigo el mmmm...)", which served as an introduction of reggaeton for many Europeans, reaching number one on the French charts with top ten appearances in Greece, Italy, India, Turkey and the Netherlands. He also released an EP called Macarron Chacarron containing many mixes of his hits.

In 2006, there was a campaign on BBC Radio 1 in the UK to get the song "Chacarron Macarron" to number one; in the end, it only reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart.

In March 2018, "Dame Tu Cosita" became a viral Internet dance challenge and meme.
