Olivencia (birth name: Ángel Tomás Olivencia Pagán [note 1] _ was born in the Villa Palmeras section of Santurce, Puerto Rico, United States. His family moved to the city of Arecibo when he was just a child. There received his primary and secondary education. As a young man, he became fascinated with the trumpet and learned to play the musical instrument. In 1954, Olivencia sang and played the trumpet for local bands. He graduated from high school in 1957 and his family relocated once again to Santurce.
In 1960, Olivencia organized his first orchestra, which he named the "Tommy Olivencia y La Primerísima Orquesta de Puerto Rico". His band combined swing and melodic styles together. This combination, plus a strong brass contingent in the band was his trademark. Olivencia signed a contract with Inca Records and remained with that label until 1978. In 1972, he had his first major "hit" with Secuestro (Kidnapped) and followed that hit with Juntos de Nuevo (Together Again) in 1974 and Planté Bandera in 1975.
Olivencia's band was also known as the "Tommy Olivencia School", because the band produced some of the best and most talented singers and musicians of salsa in the island. Among those to have belonged to the band at one time or another were: Chamaco Ramirez, Sammy "El Rolo" González, Simon Perez, Paquito Guzman, Ubaldo "Lalo" Rodriguez, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Marvin Santiago, Frankie Ruiz, Hector Tricoche, Carlos Alexis, Hector "Pichie" Perez, Paquito "Junior" Acosta and Mel Martínez. On August 2000, Olivencia celebrated his 40th anniversary in the music industry at the Tito Puente Theater in San Juan, an event attended by many of the former members of his band. On May 15, 2004, Olivencia celebrated his 66th birthday and 45 years with the band with a live recording concert. The annual "Day of Salsa" of 2005, celebrated in Puerto Rico was dedicated to Olivencia.
He died on September 22, 2006, aged 68, in San Juan, Puerto Rico from complications of diabetes, which he had battled his entire life.

Yo traigo ahora aqui para que gozen
rumba buena caliente del monte
es nuevo movimiento si señor
es salsa que llega al corazon
si eres moderna si tu eres bailador
vacila con ganas y sabor (x2)
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
ahora vengo del monte ahora vengo sabroso bongo
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
ahi lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
si eres moderna y tu bailador vacila mi rumba
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
del monte canta sin son lo traigo para ti
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
ay ahora vengo yo con salsa saoco sabor y control
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
y del monte vengo yo
(vengo del monte)
lelelelelolelele
(vengo del monte)
que me puedo yo presente hermano de mi tierra
(vengo del monte)
ahi si no hay la rumba buena
(vengo del monte) (x6)
ahora vuelvo a la batalla
(vengo del monte)
tu que me queria soy
(vengo del monte)
lalo te viene a cantar a ti
(vengo del monte)
dice que viene del monte
(vengo del monte)
(vamos ahi que toca David) (x4)
(para gozar Julito y su timbal) (x4)
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
mira mis ansias de cantarte yo canto para ti
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
en que lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
oye amigos que me escuchan oigan mi canto
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
vengo del monte sabroso vengo del monte
(lo traigo para ti y vengo del monte)
sigue!
Siempre pa'lante mi amigo
y ahora que vengo del monte
y no crea que voy pa'tras

Un día como hoy, 15 de mayo de 1938, nació en Santurce, Puerto Rico, el trompetista y director musical Ángel Tomás Olivencia Pagán, conocido artísticamente como Tommy Olivencia, fundador de su orquesta, "La Primerísima". Maestro, lo seguimos extrañando.🎶🎺🎵😢😢😢😢
