Born in Bogotá, he was the maestro de capilla of that city's cathedral for many years, until his death, and oversaw the installation of its organ. His output consisted of villancicos; his work was important for native Americans and immigrants to develop popular genres later in history, such as the bambuco, the torbellino, the guabina, the pasillo, the danza, and the contradanza, among others.
