"Universo Inverso", recorded in only three days, featuring some of the best jazz musicians in Latin America.
Three years later, Kiko released, "Fullblast" , a heavy and progressive piece. In 2008 he also presented his fusion project: Neural Code, in which the band explores rock and jazz, fueled with Brazilian rhythms.
"Sounds of Innocence", his fourth solo album, was released in 2012, combining metal, jazz and Brazilian rhythms.
The year 2015 came with big news: Kiko was invited to join Megadeth and recorded the guitars for Megadeth's fifteenth studio album "Dystopia"
