    DESCRIPTION


    One of pianist Ray Pérez’s rarest releases and his first on his own label Pyraphon, “They Do It” (1971) was also his final collaboration with Perucho Torcat, a talented sonero who died tragically young in NYC the following year.
    Full of classic dance floor burners, the album has been lovingly restored, mastered from the original tapes, fully licensed, with its original artwork intact, preserving the legacy of this great Venezuelan music for today’s generation of salsa dura lovers everywhere.
    First time reissue.
    Recommended by DJ Bongohead of Peace & Rhythm.


    One of pianist Ray Pérez’s rarest releases and his first on his own label Pyraphon, “They Do It” (1971) was also his final collaboration with Perucho Torcat, a talented sonero who died tragically young in NYC the following year.

    The record sports an impressively diverse array of rhythms and genres, including the popular Cuban, Puerto Rican and New York sounds that the young Venezuelan salsa groups excelled in at the time (guaguancó, bolero son, son montuno and Latin soul / boogaloo). Other Caribbean modes like calypso (the coast of Venezuela is very near Trinidad and Tobago), pambiche (a slow form of Dominican merengue developed for tourists), and even traditional Venezuelan merengue (a completely different rhythm from the Dominican genre of the same name) appear on the album.

    Full of classic dance floor burners, the album has been lovingly restored, mastered from the original tapes, fully licensed, with its original artwork intact, preserving the legacy of this great Venezuelan music for today’s generation of salsa dura lovers everywhere.

    The LP is highly collectible and is now being reissued by Vampisoul for the first time.
