I LOVE MUSIC I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1978. Music has always been my passion, in 1980 my brother Carlos and I founded a music group called "Volcanes Del Xolotlan." Two other members, Filimon Morales (Pianist of the group Limbo) and Enoc Jerez (Singer/Guitarist of the group Los Panzers) contributed to the recording of our first album "Cantares De Mi Tierra."

This album was produced and arranged by the Volcanes Del Xolotlan. Later, Jose Berrios, my older brother, also joined us in our venture. We then recorded a single material called "Me he vuelto a enamorar" produced by Hilda Amador (Composer from Guatemala) also arranged by the Volcanes Del Xolotlan with the participation of guest musicians, Mundo Sanchez (Bass) and Armando Ibarra (Bongos.)

In 1982, we (the Berrios Brothers) decided to form another musical organization:Volcan. Volcan is a group of Latin Musicians and Singers from around the bay area, talented latin musicians from Central, South America and U.S.A. The following Musicians have participated and contributed to the reputable name of Volcan: Edmundo Sanchez, Pepe Jacobo, AnaDaisy, Hilda Amador, Jaime Vanegas, Frank Thude, Guillermo Guillen, Danilo Murillo, Randall Watson, Domingo Reyes, Edgard (Gato) Aguilar, German Ruiz, Raul Ramirez, Roberto Gonzales, Walter Castillo, Frank Castillo, Randy (Conga) Stevenson, Mario Morales, Johny Serrano, Agustin Robleto, Amilcar Guevara, Mariano Acevedo, Rabe (Tapatio), Rodil Varela, Alejandro Vanegas, Armando Ibarra, Ramon (El compa) Reyes, Martin Galo, Carlos Martinez, David Quintero, Tony Quintero, Oscar (Oscarin) Aleman, Donaldo (Picudo) Mantilla, Francisco (Chico) Albear, Hector Silva y Orestes Vilato entre otros.

Volcan recorded, in combination with multiple talented bay area groups, its first album including the song "Sociedad de Amor" from the oldtimer famous composer and director of the Trio Xolotlan from Nicaragua Carlos Adan Berrios(my father) but this song could have never be a reality without the inspiring figure of my mother Teresa Argentina.
