During his student years Huáscar won several awards and recognitions due to the quality of his acting and compositions. For this reason, this school has honoured him and has adorned their glass cabinets with its awards among which songs dedicated to his mother and to a Bolivian teacher. His musical interest and enthusiasm led him to further expand his musical knowledge on the acoustic guitar and folk dances. He joined the local regional music school Achá Martinez directed by Prof. Nilo Soruco Arancibia. Thereafter, the first award he won was the 1st place in the Festival del Canto y la Aloja in 1993 with the unreleased cueca La fiesta de San Roque.
