It is said he firstly studied in Zaragoza, possibly in the Cathedral choir with his uncle Francisco Javier García Fajer ’El Españoleto’ but other sources situed him in Italy. Around 1756 he settled in Santander where he was appointed as the first Kapellmeister of the city’s Cathedral. His trace was lost then and almost nothing is known about his life and career there. Shortly before his death his signature appears on a document welcoming Joseph Bonaparte, so it seems that he must have had French or Enlightenment leanings towards the end of his life. Carrasquedo died in Santander on April 12, 1812. He was buried in the old San Francisco cemetery. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music which has been forgotten after his death.
