In a short period of time, his individualistic style of interpretations of various compositions, mostly created for the harp, quickly gained him wide public recognition. He was a member of several bands until in 1945 he formed his own group. He enjoyed huge fame in Buenos Aires and throughout all the [[Río de la Plata]] area. His success was such that a street in [[Mendoza, Argentina|Mendoza]] was named after him.

He recorded numerous LP’s immortalizing all of his songs but one in particular, became internationally known, his version of “Guyra campana” (“[[Bare-throated bellbird|Pájaro campana]]”),.Even though this master piece is mentioned as a traditional country tune in encyclopedias and history books of Paraguayan music, there is no doubt that the recompilation and the final arrangement of this masterpiece were due to the talent and genius Pérez Cardozo.

His contribution to the evolution and popularization of the Paraguayan harp was of great value since it developed new technical aspects such as the widening of the sound effects through the implementation of extra chords, the independent use of the hands, the accompaniment of broken chords for the Paraguayan Polka and the increasingly technical use of the right hand (chords and melodies with five fingers, tremolos, glissandos and other effects).
