Ray Ramos is a singer, composer, producer, bandleader and recording artist. He was born and raised in New York City. His career began when he recorded with the Conjunto Saoco Band for Salsoul records. The group was well known for their Hot Cuban rhythms. He recorded four LPs with Salsoul Records and performed all over the East Coast, touring Panama, Colombia, Martinique and Costa Rica.
Ray started his own band, La Charanga Sensual. Believing that a brass section would enhance his music, he added four trumpets and formed the Ray Ramos Orchestra. Since that time, he has recorded seven CDs with the orchestra.
In 1997, Ray recorded in Los Angeles, California, as a guest artist with Johnny Polanco and Conjunto Amistad. He sang La Receta, a tune he composed. The song became very popular and was featured in movies; Death to Smoochy, Dance with Me, Ivory Tower and VH1 The Way She Moves. The song was also featured in television shows; Moesha, Love Boat, Buddy Faro and Vibes. Ray hired Jon Fausty as a musical engineer and got hold of the best musicians in the Salsa business to re-record La Receta. The song became so popular in Europe that Ray was contracted to perform at numerous Salsa clubs in England.
Ray is currently recording a new Salsa CD with original and classical tunes. He has recently performed at great venues in California, as well as the Los Angeles Festival, the Colombian Festival, the Golden Eagle Awards and the Latin Film Festival. He has performed in San Diego, Reno and Las Vegas and since Ray was born in New York, he has performed at all of the Salsa Clubs in New York City and New York State.
Ray is a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. His compositions are aired all over the world. He is a producer and has produced two CDs with Luis “Perico” Ortiz and another with Isidro Infante. He recently finished a production for Morrowland Records staring Angelo, an actor and singer from Los Angeles, California. Two songs composed by Ray on this CD, “Besame” and “Cosas De Novelas” were featured in King of Queens on CBS.
