His way of describing the Cuban landscapes and his very careful lyrics earned him the nickname of "The melodic painter of Cuba".

In addition to the saxophone, he learned to play the guitar, drums, vibraphone, piano and studied conducting, an art in which he remained for most of his musical life.

Some recordings for RCA were made on the CMQ channel in Havana, in the program "Buenas noches, mi amor", where he performed.

[12][13] In 1932 the Siboney Orchestra toured Europe, performing in Spain, France and Portugal in the company of the Trio Matamoros, the Spanish dancer "Granito de Sal" and the rumbera Yolanda González.

The news of the Diario de la Marina highlighted on the eve of their departure that "...they will disembark in Santander and tour the main cities of that Republic".

The newspaper El Cantábrico, narrates the impact of the so-called Orquesta Típica Siboney, the Trío Matamoros and the dancers, Yolanda González and the Spanish "Granito de Sal".

[16] During this tour Julio joined the SGAE and recorded some songs with his voice, together with the Siboney Orchestra, for the Spanish label Regal.

(see Discography) From this period are also his creations: “Acurrurrucadita”, “Trigueñita”, “Flor de ausencia” (great success in the voice of Panchito Riset), "Si yo pudiera hablarte" or "Cuando te acuerdes de mí", song that Tito Gómez interpreted at the age of 17 (1937), in his radio debut in "La Corte Suprema del Arte", Cuban radio contest destined to the discovery of new talents of which he would turn out to be winner.

[26] Julio Brito is known as “The melodic painter of Cuba”, for having been one of the musical authors who most beautifully described the Cuban countryside in his songs.

[28] The great success achieved by this guajira by Julio Brito is reflected in the words of René Cabel, in an interview conducted by Don Galaor for Bohemia magazine, on June 9, 1940 (page 54)[29] Question: In which song could we situate the culminating moment of this evolution towards what is typically ours?Answer: Place it, without discussion, in the appearance of 'El amor de mi Bohío', by Julio Brito, whose formidable success gave the guideline to follow to the other authors, even to the old consecrated ones.Some performers who have recorded versions of "El amor de mi bohío": Pedro Vargas, Guillermo Portabales, Juan Legido, Trío Matamoros, Tito Gómez with the Orquesta Riverside, Los Panchos, Xiomara Alfaro, Omara Portuondo, Tito Puente, Olga Guillot, Oscar Chávez, Barbarito Diez with the Antonio María Romeu's Orchestra, Jonah Jones.
