"Dieppa" became known after composing and conducting ‘Sinfonia Latina’ at age seventeen in1976, the composition fused Rock, Jazz, Salsa and Spanish music into a symphonic format.[2][19][20][21][22] The event "Sinfonía Latina" denominated ‘Super Show’ over-exceeded expected attendance,[6][4][2] Noted as ‘avant-guarde’ and  ‘revolutionary’, it pushed the boundaries of popular salsa, autochthonous dance rhythms, rock, and jazz with a classical frame work into the modern concert hall, with poetic (protest) lyrics in Spanish.[2][6]
