His style was deeply rooted and directly based on the classic guitar groups.
On many of his performances, he added other string instruments to the guitar trio or quartet: contrabass, violins, and violoncello.
His vocation awakened at age twelve.
He made tours of many countries in Latin America.
In Cuba, his success was terrific, with a lot of journeys and a significant number of recordings.
During one of those tours, Canet composed one of his most famous tangos: “La abandoné y no sabía”, in Chile in 1943.
He was a prolific composer.
