This is Merengue by Dioris Valladares from the Dominican
Republic. It is traditional old merengue at it’s best.
Good from beginning to end.

were changed after the various comments )

Thanks for posting this one. I did not have Vol 1. If you want I can send you volume 2. In Vol 1 Angel Viloria is the band leader, after his sudden death the sax player of the group “Ramon Garcia” took over.The band with Angel Viloria also has two albums Venezuelan Sonus label.
This has always been my favorite Merengue band.
Gracias

Moos, I’m curious to try some of these recordings, but it’s very confusing if this is a latin recording or an African one? Could you be a bit more descriptive to those us who have no idea of what this form is like?

This page clearly states that this artist is from Puerto Rico.
Why do you post this as from Africa?
Actually, this one here is much closer to my song sense. Two minute compositions are so much easier for my ear. If I’ve learned anything from my two years of blogging, it’s that if you’ve heard it 20 times, then words would certainly be easy enough to convey about the stand-out aspects of a recording. Say that the electric bass work is worth checking out. Say that the drumming is full of charm. Say that there are some records that “JUST HAVE IT”. Gee, when you use to stop by my page & say hello to a post that you liked, you would impart more heart then your offering here.
I would like to discover some of these gems that you’re posting & I want you to EDUCATE ME. Please hold my hand a little. Much of this is new turf & I rely on your words to guide me. Please understand.
Justin,
I invite you to my house, if you see my records and know how much time I’ve got. If I would only post albums I heard 20 times I’d post one LP a month.
I shall try to guide a little more, but still, I’ll do it my way.
Reaally hope you to find more of your likings,
greetings..
fitst of oall Dioris Valldares was not puerto rican

I’m the son of Dioris Valladares, Nelson Valladares, my Dad was from Santo Domingo and his music was all orignal from his heart, not for rich and fame. Fame recognised his talents later on in life. He would be up all night until the sun rose. Dad composed, played and performed for the people of all nations an countries, for there enjoyment. He loved people but most of all through good times and hard times there was always a song in his heart for someone. He took the worlds pain upon his shoulders and expressed the folk lore living it playing it through his music. He helped so many people an never sought credit for it. He would always tell me the man who is in need and you can help him, do it and God will help you to help another. That was the real man behind the music.
Thank You Nelson Valladares, your dad is one of our precious composers and musician, and for letting people know he is from our Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic not Puerto Rico. I’m always in search of his albums but they are not easy to find.
Si tu quieres que yo te diga donde fue que yo naci, en la tierra del arcoiris en San Pedro de Macoris (Which is a providence of Dominican Republic), Sammy Sosa,Juan Luis Guerra, and Juan Luis (from Juan Luis y sus Mulatos) are from San Pedro. I think Angel Viloria was from Satiango, Ramon Garcia though, the sax players is from Puerto Rico, i doesnt matter though.
