He… Read Full Bio ↴Ramón Orlando Valoy is a merengue musician and son of Cuco Valoy.
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.
Weo

en mi alma se abre una herida
porque a su lado vivi los momentos
mas felices de mi vida
nos adorábamos plenamente
nunca hubo problemas entre los dos
pero una mañana al salir el sol
mirando a otra tierra se marcho
No se si vive o si a muerto
jamas de ella he sabido yo
solo le pido al señor del cielo
que me de su bendición
era tan linda la vida a su lado
la luna y el sol tenían otro color
los colores mas bonitos de la naturaleza
hacían contraste con su belleza
weo, weo weeeo weeeo
weo, weo… la laaaa…
hayyyyyyyyy
Cada vez que pienso en ella
en mi alma se abre una herida
porque a su lado vivi los momentos
mas felices de mi vida
nos adorábamos plenamente
nunca hubo problemas entre los dos
pero una mañana al salir el sol
mirando a otra tierra se marcho
No se si vive o si a muerto
jamas de ella he sabido yo
solo le pido al señor del cielo
que me de su bendición
era tan linda la vida a su lado
la luna y el sol tenían otro color
los colores mas bonitos de la naturaleza
hacían contraste con su belleza
weo weo weeeo weeeo
weo… la laaaa…
hayyyyyyyyy
No se si vive o si a muerto
jamas de ella he sabido yo
solo le pido al señor del cielo
que me de su bendición
era tan linda la vida a su lado
la luna y el sol tenían otro color
los colores mas bonitos de la naturaleza
hacían contraste con su belleza
The lyrics of Ramón Orlando's song "Weo" express the pain of a man who remembers a love that he lost. Each time he thinks about her, it opens up a wound in his soul because he remembers the happiest moments of his life that he spent with her. The two of them loved each other completely and had no problems, but one morning she left for another land without warning. The singer doesn't know if she's alive or dead and he pleads to the Lord to give his blessing. He reminisces about how beautiful life was with her, how the moon and the sun had other colors, and how her beauty contrasted with the most beautiful colors of nature.
The song's lyrics express a deep sense of sadness and longing that people can relate to when they lose someone they love. The singer's affection and love for his lost love is clear, and he captures the intense feelings that come with separation and loss. The words "weo, weo" that the singer keeps repeating throughout the song are a representation of the sound of a bird called the wood thrush which is known for its beautiful song. The use of this sound along with the repetition of the phrase "weo" creates a sense of nostalgia and a desire to bring back something that has been lost.
