Ranil began picking up on the sounds of vals criollo, rock, carimbó rhythms from Brazil, as well as broadcasts of cumbia from Colombian radio, whilst working as a school teacher in the frontier village of Porto Brasil. He then adapting these genres to his own arranging and singing styles.
Returning to Iquitos after years of teaching, Ranil and his band recorded their first record at Lima’s MAG studios. However, Ranil soon established his own Produccions Llerena imprint – one of the first labels founded in the Peruvian Amazon – in order to maintain total authority over his releases.
Ranil then went on to record fourteen albums during the course of his career.
