Vampisoul / Spain / RE 2022
This album marks the debut recording for Venezuela’s Velvet label by pianist Ray Pérez and his trombone-led salsa band Los Dementes. Heavy dance numbers and the distinctive vocals of Perucho Torcat make this historic 1967 rarity a sought-after collector’s item.
Now the LP has been lovingly restored, mastered from the original tapes, with its original artwork intact, preserving the legacy of Los Dementes for today’s generation of salsa lovers everywhere. First time reissue.
