DESCRIPTION:
Born in Caracas -- Venezuela in 1971, Abel met the electric guitar at the age of 15 when he was asked by his metal friends from the neighborhood to join them in their dream founding the band STRATUZ (http://www.stratuz.com.ve). They quickly installed themselves as the first Black Metal band from Caracas and one of the most important underground Metal bands from Venezuela.

In 1990 Abel joined CRONOS (www.myspace.com/cronosrules), a powerful Metal band that was the first of his kind to record an independent EP in Venezuela and shared the stage many times with artists like Venezuelan Metalatino band LABERINTO.

In 1993 he got the lead guitar role in 90's Pop Rock band RADIO CLIP (www.myspace.com/radioclip), which was already established at the top of Venezuelan Pop culture and gave him the chance to tour and perform to huge crowds nationwide.

Abel is living in The Netherlands since 1997 and since 2004 the official guitar player of Amsterdam-based Metalatino band LABERINTO (www.laberintomusic.com).
