the recurring themes of his songs with beats that he had never used before such as the gaita from the Zulia State of Venezuela. Four of the songs recorded by Primera had only vocals. When he died, Alí had been driving back from a recording session. Weeks after the accident, his brother José Montecano (also a musician and composer) decided to complete the project. The album was called "Por si no lo sabía" (If you didn't know'); its release was a success and was the first of Ali's albums to make it into TV promotion. Alí never appeared on TV during his lifetime. The following year, Primera's Cigarrón label agreed to edit the album Alí¡ En Vivo!, a work recorded a few years prior at the Magdalena Seijas Auditorium of the Pedagogical University Institute of Barquisimeto. The concert, in which Primera included an interpretation of the National Anthem of Venezuela ("Gloria Al Bravo Pueblo"), was made to celebrate the anniversary of a radio show of Latin American protest music.
