He settled in New York City in the fall of 1998 and, by 2000, had been awarded the Thelonius Monk Award for Afro-Latin Hand Percussion and featured in the documentary film Calle 54. Pedrito has recorded or performed with Wynton Marsalis, Paul Simon, Paquito D’Rivera, Eddie Palmieri, Bruce Springsteen and Sting and has contributed to over 50 albums.
