Before completing his musical studies, Alberto was already developing his artistic career as a musician in the Concert Band. He later joined the Charanga Tunera as a flutist. Later, he joined the Rítmicos de Palma band, a group with which he participated in several music festivals and recorded two albums.

He plays jazz with Peruchin at the well-known nightclub La Zorra y el Cuervo (155 Calle 23, Vedado, Plaza de la Revolución, Havana). He has also been the featured artist on songs with Michael Blanco and his Suprema Ley.

In addition to the names mentioned above, there is also that of Oderquis Revé and his Changüí, an orchestra of which Herrera was a member.
