Since childhood, he felt a direct impulse to become a musician, given that his father was a Tres player, (an instrument similar to the guitar used in rural Dominican towns), and his mother was a singer of Salves.

After "Convite" broke up (1978), Días formed another band named "Madora" together with Gustavo Moré, Wellinton Valenzuela, Carlos Fernández, and Luis Ruiz.

Between 1980 and 1982, Luis Días traveled to New York City, where he focused on teaching workshops about traditional Dominican music at the American Museum of Natural History.

Together with Juan Luis Guerra he was commissioned to compose the main theme for Carlos Cristalini's short film Las Pausas del Silencio (The Pauses of Silence).

In 1986, he published a book titled Tránsito Entre Guácaras (Transportation in Between Caves), a work of poetry taking Taíno myths as a source of inspiration.

He was also contracted by UNICEF to compose the song "Los Niños Sin Padres" ("Children Without Parents"), which was performed alongside singers Sergio Vargas and Sonia Silvestre.

Some notable examples are: Sergio Vargas ("Marola", "Las Vampiras", "La Novia"), Kaki Vargas ("Los Mosquitos Puyan"), Wilfrido Vargas ("La Pringamosa"), Sonia Silvestre ("Mi Guachimán", "Yo Quiero Andar", "Andrecito Reyna"), Dionis Fernández ("El Guardia del Arsenal"), Los Hijos del Rey ("Rocapiedra"), Fernando Villalona ("Carnaval (Baila en la Calle)"), Alex Bueno ("Gigante"), July Mateo "Rasputin" ("El Carrito") and Marc Anthony ("Si He De Morir"), among others.

After several years of performances in the Caribbean region, the United States and South America, and after taking his art to Paris, Marseille, Moscow, Leningrad, Madrid, Tenerife, Barcelona, and Lisboa, in 1991 he returned to New York, where he would continue his intense work surrounding culture and ethnic studies.

Another highlight is his collaboration with David Byrne in the soundtrack for the film Blue in the Face (1995), in which Marc Anthony performed his song "Mi Barrio" along with a rap by Kaz and Remi Leku.

Between 2002 and 2003, he began recordings for Radio Macana, an album produced by Reynaldo García Pantaleón y Lliam Greguez, and that would include participation of his band "Las Maravillas" in the sessions.

In 2005, upon a request by the Centro Cultural España in Santo Domingo, he organized a Merengue band to perform some of his main compositions made popular by other artists.
