RELEASE DATE

First time reissue. Originally released in 1971. One of pianist
Ray Pérez
's rarest releases and his first on his own label Pyraphon,
They Do It
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 dancefloor 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. Recommended by
DJ Bongohead
of Peace & Rhythm.
