Bio

Carlos was born in Linares, Nuevo León, Mexico, where he began his studies in music and liturgy at the age of 12. He served as liturgy coordinator and composer in residence at the Mexican-American Cultural Center and choir director at the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas. He was also the coordinator of Christian communities for the Diocese of Phoenix, director of Hispanic ministry for the Diocese of Baker in Bend, Oregon, and director of music and liturgy coordinator for the Divine Mercy Catholic Church in Laredo, Texas.

Two experiences inspired Carlos’s music: biblical reflection and liturgical celebration. “The two go together,” he once said, “feeding and enhancing one another.” His collection ¡Grita de Alegría! offers Mariachi-style psalm settings. Some of his popular songs include “Me Alegré” and “Cantemos al Señor.” His music is also featured in the upcoming collection, Novena a la Virgen de Guadalupe/Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Carlos passed away in 2020 in Texas near his family.
