After the Cuban revolution ended in 1959 he was established a General of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba and was chosen as a member of the central committee and political bureau.

His interests include writing and music, of which several books and recordings have been made including the popular cuban trilogy - "Military prison", "Exile" and "Disembarkation". He presently resides in Havana.
