They performed live at the Teatro Stella and the Luis Franzini Stadium . Brazilian Geraldo Azevedo , author of some of Barcarola's songs, was a guest at the latter show.

In 1982 he settled in Buenos Aires, playing with musicians such as Miguel Abuelo, Litto Nebbia, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Alejandro Lerner, León Gieco and Fito Páez, among others, and being part of Rubén Rada's band , recording on all his albums from En familia (1982) to Pa'los uruguayos (1989).
