Arturo enjoys many elements that may be considered obscure and distinctive, but moreover, that have a groovy feeling. Depending on the energy and mood of the crowd, and the venue, he can take his music to different levels, relentlessly combining and conceptualizing, in order to move his audience. He is always looking to reinvent his sound, regardless of whether it's "old" or "new" music.
