He was a very prolific composer, his songs were part of 35 films and he composed different types of music: religious, musicals, zarzuela and operetta.
In 1935, the City Council of Almeria honoured him by naming him their favourite son. He died in Madrid in 1960. Almeria’s auditorium is named in his honour Auditorium Maestro Padilla.
