Perez has dedicated his life to exploring the world's music and cultures via his guitar, which he explores in its many forms: Spanish classical guitar, acoustic, electric, resophonic, as well as African, Hawaiian ki Ho'alu (Slack Key) and Kika Kila (Steel Guitar), delta blues 'slide' style from Mississippi, Flamenco and the unique way of playing guitar in Hindustani music found in India or even the fretless Arabic guitar. He also explores new horizons in his arrangements and compositions based on instruments such as the Japanese Koto, Chinese Pipa, African Ngoni and the Kora.
