About Ronnie Villar & The Firedons ( by DJ Little Danny)

England’s Cliff Richard was one of the first Western rock ‘n’ rollers to break into the Asian pop markets, albeit with a polished form of the music. The Shadows - Richard’s backing band - recorded separately as an instrumental combo, and they, like their American counterparts the Ventures, were quite the pop phenomenon in Asia as well. It's their enduring "Apache" which is rendered here in a gloriously dramatic derivation by Ronnie Villar & the Firedons. The Firedons have that same sense of melody and precision, but carry the characteristic "wet" echo sound of the Shadows to extremes; they play as if a dry basement was their mortal enemy. Even the echo seems to have echo on it.

In addition to vocalist Ronnie Villar (who evidently did not appear on this), the Firedons included Willy Villar (lead guitar), David Llorente (rhythm guitar), Cesar Llorente (bass), and Waldy Cruz (drums). I’d guess that "El Tomador" was recorded around 1963.
