Celso is Made of Music. (Salvador Ferreras as quoted by the Vancouver Sun). His mastery of a myriad of instruments from around the world and his gift for making music out of anything and everything around us, from percussion on his own body to water bottles and ladders, makes him the ideal musician/composer to write, perform and record original music for film.
His score for the film In the Company of Fear won him a Leo Award for Best Musical Score for Documentary in 2000 and the score which he co-wrote, performed and recorded with Salvador Ferreras and Joseph Pepe Danza for A Place Called Chiapas was nominated in 1999 for a Leo Award for Best Musical Score for Documentary.
