He also directed a cabaret at the invitation of the Canadian Tourist Board, 'Los T con E'. n 1987 Homero joined Teatro America for a Cuban television programme aimed at bringing the rich cultural inheritance of dance rhythms to ordinary Cuban people; the programme, directed by Gilberto Bosa and Guanarie Almuedo, provided a weekly presentation of various aspects of Cuban dance i.e. Afro Cuban, rumba, Cuban popular dance, ballet and contemporary.
