The Road Vultures have already toured with him through South America and India, and a new South American tour is scheduled for 2008. Rest of the line - up are Charlie Giardina (bass) and Pablo Garrocho (drums). Christian released his solo album 'El Viaje' in 2005. There he mixes instrumental rock with different native argentinian styles like Folklore and Tango. With that album he's been touring Spain a couple of times and he's setting a new one for this year. Also one of the songs from 'El Viaje' was chosen as background music for a folklore radio show in Argentina. In 2001 he started teaching guitar lessons in I.T.M.C.
