One of the most influential figures of the jazz music scene in Peru, Gabriel is exploring and developing a uniquely Afro-Peruvian jazz music concept by combining the common African roots found in American jazz music and Afro-Peruvian music from the coast of Peru.  Gabriel's latest recording Nuevo Mundo features collaborations from jazz stars Tierney Sutton, Bobby Shew, Russell Ferrante and Bill Watrous,  as well as formidable Peruvian artists Freddy 'Huevito' Lobaton, Hugo Alcazar, Laurandrea Leguia, Jocho Velazquez and Joscha Oetz.
