After completing his obligatory military service in Spain, he toured with the best known companies at the time. Eventually, his lifetime childhood friend, Juan Antonio Aguero, married Carmen Amaya, and Mario married her sister Maria, with whom he had a son. He soon travelled to the US as first soloist.
