[1] In 1981 he formed "La Mandrágora" together with Joaquín Sabina and Javier Krahe, a trio to which he brought his romantic touch as well as a sense of showmanship, and with whom he would make a record of the same name that is still being re-released.

[2] In 1984 he was invited to take part in the Spanish television programme "Si yo fuera presidente" for which he created a character inspired in the vocalists and crooners of the 1940s and 1950s who sung a selection of around 100 famous if long-forgotten songs.

This enterprise would keep them busy for over two years and would eventually take form in "Sobre la pista" (1990) and "Tiempo de baile" (1997), produced and interpreted by Alberto Pérez himself and in which musicians from different generations and nationalities took part.

[5] Pérez has directed and conducted various radio programmes, among which the most noteworthy include "Corazón loco" (RNE, 1989–90) and "A vivir, que son dos días" or "Live it up, life's too short" (SER, 1994–95).

He has also been invited to lecture at various universities and academic institutions, most especially to talk about the 'bolero' and Central and South American music; and he has also taken part in workshops for professional musicians aimed at enabling them to identify various genre and rhythms.
