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.

si supieras cuantas cartas te escribí si supieras cuantas cosas me contaron hoy de ti
de ti
si supieras cuantas veces te recuerdo
si supieras cuantas veces te soñé
si supieras que está noche la pasé pensando en ti
en ti
en ti que eras como yo
y eras tan feliz
poniendo en mi tu vida como yo
en ti
en ti, que eras como yo
poniendo en cada beso aquel sabor
mas dulce que la miel
y un Dia del otoño amaneció
sin ti
en ti
que eras como yo
creías como yo en el amor
y eras tan feliz
poniendo en mi tu vida como yo
en ti
en ti, que eras como yo
poniendo en cada beso aquel sabor
mas dulce que la miel
y un Dia del otoño amaneció
sin ti
en ti, que eras como yo
poniendo en cada beso aquel sabor
mas dulce que la miel
y un Dia del otoño amaneció
sin ti
The lyrics of Ramón Orlando's "Diciembre Party" describe the feelings of someone who is longing for a former lover. Throughout the verses, the singer reflects on how much they miss the person they used to be with, thinking about all the times they shared together and how happy they were. They mention the letters they wrote to their ex-lover, as well as all the stories they have heard about them since their separation. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer and their former partner were very similar - both believing in love and sharing a sweet, intimate kiss. However, despite this mutual understanding and chemistry, the relationship ended and the singer is left feeling incomplete without their former partner.
The song as a whole presents a sense of nostalgia and sadness, highlighting the pain that can come with lost love. The singer seems to be stuck in the past, struggling to move forward and accept that their relationship is over. The use of the line "un Dia del otoño amaneció sin ti" (one autumn day dawned without you) creates a visual image of the singer waking up alone, and emphasizes the sudden, jarring feeling of loneliness.
Overall, "Diciembre Party" is a deeply emotional song that captures the raw emotions of heartbreak and longing. It speaks to the universal experience of grieving for lost love, and the difficulty of moving on after a breakup.
