Carrasco completed his formal study of philosophy in April 1970 when he submitted a thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche; he then commenced to study music at the National Conservatorium of the University of Chile until the Chilean military coup of September 11, 1973. The years following the military coup saw Carrasco involved primarily in artistic and political projects.

From the beginning he proved himself as a composer with pieces such as ''“El canto del cuculi”'' and ''“La cueca triste”'' - co-jointly with Víctor Jara – and later after acquiring formal training in the field of music he created some of the most significant work of the group, such as ''“Vals de Colombes”, “Elegia al Che Guevara”, “Ausencia”'' with Rodolfo Parada, ''”Canción de la esperanza”'' and ''“Luz negra”''. Carrasco forged the concept of ''“La revolucion y las estrellas”/''(The revolution and the stars) which signified an evolution in the alignment of Quilapayún. Carrasco has written numerous books including two book about Quilapayún; the first (under the pseudonym of Ignacio Santander) and the second ''“Quilapayún, la Revolución y Las Estrellas.” '' He has also publishing numerous works of poetry, philosophy and his conversations with the Chilean painter Roberto Matta, and with the Chilean philosopher Roberto Torretti. Once Quilapayún was able to return to Chile from exile in 1988, Carrasco maintained that the true place for the group was Chile, since other group members needed to return to France, he decided to remain in Chile and leave the group. In Chile he has held numerous posts: as professor of philosophy at the Universidad de Chile; as director in the School of Music of the ''"Sociedad Chilena del Derecho de Author"'' and in the cultural division of the Chilean Ministry of Education.
