Luis began 2006 by playing at the Grammy Awards with musical director Patrice Rushen and performed with James Taylor (as person of the year) in a concert where he had to back guest artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Dixie Chicks, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen and Dr. John. The year continued with a clinic tour throughout the Midwestern US. While not on tour, Luis has been busy in Los Angeles appearing on a variety of recordings, such as jingles (TV commercials), movie soundtracks such as Miami Vice, Smoking Aces and The Lost City and on albums such as Five for Fighting, OK Go, Michael W Smith, Michael Bolton, Russell Watson, Pussy Cat Dolls, Ziggy Marley, Marco Antonio Solis, Aly and AJ, Slumber Party Girls and many more.

During the summer months, Luis gave an extensive clinic tour which took him to Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Turkey, the Czech Republic, England, Sardinia and Italy where he performed in front of several thousand enthused visitors. His next triumph was an incredible duet with Thomas Lang at the Modern Drummer Festival in Newark, NJ. Luis and Thomas convened on the New Jersey Performing Arts Center with many other lovers of all things drumming to give a performance which many will remember for years to come.
