He was born in Manoguayabo, then part of Santo Domingo, D.N. (the capital city) and now part of Santo Domingo Province. He studied music at National Conservatory of Music in the Dominican Republic.
In the 70s, after his father left Los Compadres Guitar quartet, he formed his first group, Los Virtuosos, with his father as the lead singer. His father kept the group and renamed it as Cuco Valoy y Orquesta (Cuco Valoy and his Orchestra) where he hired singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia. Ramon Orlando went to form another group. Years later, Cuco Valoy group disintegrated and he moved to Colombia due to his political differences with then Dominican president Joaquin Balaguer. Ramon Orlando then went onto a more ambitious project. He and then famous merengue singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed La Orquesta Internacional (The International Orchestra), where he was supposed to be the composer and director whereas Cruz and Garcia were to be the singers. However, of the first ten single production, Ramon Orlando wanted to sing four of them himself, which caused the group to split. Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed their own groups which didn't last long. Ramon Orlando quickly hired a couple of boys with similar voice tones to Cruz' and Garcia's to interpret the songs already on the radio.
He was a nominee in the Latin Grammy Awards of 2005.
Como Tu
Ramon Orlando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nunca me dio cariño como tu
Jamás le insistí a ella por tener
Porque no existe nadie como tu
Como tú, como tú.
Que me has dado tu amor, tu pasión
Entregándome lo que ella me negó
Nunca temas por ella
No no noo
Nunca temas por ella
Solo tú eres dueña de mi amor
Nunca temas por ella
Ella nunca me quiso como tu
Nunca me dio su vida como tu
Solo quiso reírse de mi amor, no
Nunca me habían querido como tu
Nunca me habían amado como tu
Jamás piense que a ella volveré
Porque no existe nadie como tu
Que me has dado tu amor, tu pasión
Entregándome lo que ella me negó
Nunca temas por ella
No no noo
Nunca temas por ella
Solo tú eres dueña de mi amor
Nunca temas por ella
Ella nunca me quiso como tu
Nunca me dio su vida como tu
Solo quiso reírse de mi amor, no
Nunca temas por ella
No no noo
Nunca temas por ella
Solo tú eres dueña de mi amor
Nunca temas por ella
Ella nunca me quiso como tu
Nunca me dio su vida como tu
Solo quiso reírse de mi amor, no
