Bueno worked with Enrique Iglesias on Iglesias's albums Euphoria and Sex and Love. He wrote the song "Bailando" which appeared on Sex and Love and became an international hit credited to Iglesias featuring Bueno and Gente de Zona, and in some versions Sean Paul or others. "Bailando" won multiple Latin Grammies in 2014, including "Song of the Year." Bueno also composed the song "Cuando Me Enamoro", which became a major international hit for Juan Luis Guerra and Iglesias.

Bueno's second solo album, Bueno, appeared in 2012, featuring duets of Bueno's compositions with various contemporary Cuban artists, including Kelvis Ochoa, Gema Corredera, Haila, X Alfonso, Baby Lores, and Alain Daniel. Bueno has produced albums for musicians including Diana Fuentes and Haydee Milanes.

Bueno moved back to Cuba and began producing, arranging, and composing music for young Cuban musicians, including Haydée for Haydée Milanés, La Isla Milagrosa for William Vivanco, and Breathe for Yusa. He also composed part of the music for the film Habana Blues (2005), being in the group of winners of the 2006 Goya award for Best Original Music. Several of his songs were in the soundtrack of Habana Eva by Venezuelan director Fina Torres, which won Best Film at New York International Latino Film Festival, and Best Film at Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.

In 2005, after signing with Universal Latin, Bueno recorded his first solo album Siete Rayo, a hip-hop fusion album. His album featured George Pajon of the Black Eyed Peas. The Batanga magazine wrote that, "The underground voice of AfroCuban fusion, Descemer Bueno, is now setting the pace for the future of Latin Music".

Bueno also wrote a set of boleros for Fernando Alvarez just before Alvarez' death in 2002.

During this period, Bueno was artist-in-residence at Stanford University in California, and spent a year teaching at the University of South Africa in Cape Town. In 1999, after moving to New York, Bueno formed a hip-hop group, Yerba Buena, writing or co-writing most of the songs for their debut album President Alien. Yerba Buena's tracks have been used in several US movies and Pepsi commercials.

Bueno studied music and became a music teacher before forming the jazz combo band Estado de Animo in 1990, which also included guitarist Elmer Ferrer and pianist Roberto Carcassés. His band toured Spain, Bolivia, Uruguay, Germany, and Argentina in the 1990s. Descemer also performed in the United States in 1998 with the jazz ensemble Column B.
