Solo career

In 2012, Daniel Puente Encina recorded his first album under his own name: '' Disparo'', a blues-based work noteworthy for the minimalism of its instrumentation. Its ten tracks included an updated version of "Botellas contra el pavimento" by way of a personal tribute to his first band, "Pinochet Boys". The album was released in spring 2012 and launched in his native Chile, with a subsequent tour of Spain, Germany and Denmark. In 2013, before continuing with his German tour, with the support of Catalan governmental organization Institut Ramon Llull, he invited New York soul singer ''Mónica Green'', granddaughter of ''Margaret "Maggie" Price'' of '' The-Cabineers'', to the studio to take part in the recording of new versions of ''Lío'' and ''Mike Tyson''both songs from this album, to give the chorus a touch of Motown. July 2014 saw Puente Encina release '' Chocolate con Ají'' (Chocolate with Chilli), the second album under his own name, containing a mixture of genres and described on his website as a personal "Best Of" album, a compilation of his favorite previously unreleased compositions. It reflects a wide variety of styles ranging from South American music, rhythm and blues and Caribbean sounds. He promoted the album in Denmark, during the

In 2016, for the International Workers' Day, he published "Freire", an animated music video created by Chilean illustrator and director ''Cristián Montes Lynch'' and his team. With the song from his album ''Chocolate con Ají'' and its corresponding video clip, Daniel Puente Encina reflects his critical view of "the unjust, dysfunctional system that is capitalism" and draws attention to the exploitation of mining workers throughout the Andes. In 2017 he invited Majorcan organist and pianist Llorenç Barceló to record a piano version of his smooth-jazz classic ''Odd Desire''. Sangre y Sal (Blood and Salt), his third solo album, published in 2019, was inspired by the mark left by Africa on the criolla music of Chile, Peru and Argentina. In 2019 Daniel Puente Encina was awarded with The Lukas, (Latin UK Awards), Runner-up in the category European Jazz/ Folk Act of the year.
