Huáscar returned to Venezuela and became the second flutist with the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Venezuela. The following year he was selected as the second flutist for the Municipal Symphonic Orchestra of Caracas. Upon his return to Venezuela he formed his own band, Huáscar Barradas y Maracaibo, that played with the influence of multiple rhythms: Venezuelan and Latin American folkloric music combined with the influences that he had acquired from his time in the United States and in Europe, including classical music, jazz, pop, hip-hop, and other contemporary trends.
