€22,00
Few have done as much for salsa in Venezuela as band leader, composer, and pianist Ray Pérez. He burst onto the scene in the mid-60s with his group Los Dementes, creating the blueprint for guaguanco, pachanga, and boogaloo in Venezuela. When the name salsa began to be used as something of a catch-all-term he was still at the forefront, recording two hugely-popular salsa albums with Los Dementes in 1967. Remarkably, that very same year, he also recorded two albums with a brand new group, Los Calvos, this is the first one, that showed how as well as being the genre’s most visible band leader, he was also pushing the nascent genre to its limits. Looking back, revered journalist Alfredo Churion states that Los Calvos were “one of the most innovative experiences in Venezuelan popular music
