For some years he worked as a waiter and sommelier in various resorts on the Catalan coast in summer, and in his family's oil mill in Alloza in winter; in 1967 he resumed his studies at the Ibáñez Martín Institute in Teruel, where he started writing about music.

He also started working as a poet and narrator, as well as a journalist for El Periódico de Aragón, in which he wrote a section of interviews and television criticism under the title "Antena paranoica".

Carbonell often performed at the Barnasants Festival in Barcelona and in cities in France such as Pau, Toulouse, Saint Jory and Paris.
