Timeline

1955

Ramón Fernando Villalona Évora (born May 7, 1955), known professionally as Fernando Villalona, is a Dominican merengue singer.

1970

Considered to be one of the most important merengue artists in the genre's history, Villalona began singing in the early 1970s; his popularity started to grow by the late 1970s and has not declined ever since.

He is the first Dominican artist to call himself "El Mayimbe", with the second being Antony Santos.

Fernando Villalona was born in Monte Cristi Province, in the northwest region of the Dominican Republic.

His father was Ángel Ramón Villalona and his mother was Virginia Arcadia Évora de Villalona.

He grew up with his nine siblings and parents in the municipality of Loma de Cabrera, in Dajabón Province where he attended his first studies and began his artistic activities.

1971

At the age of 15, he was the representative of his hometown at the Festival of the Dominican Voice in 1971.

Fernando began singing at a very early age and became popular after participating in "El Festival de la Voz", an amateur TV talent show.

After that, merengue icon Wilfrido Vargas hired him to be part of his group Los Hijos del Rey but Fernando and the group would soon be separated after his popularity became larger than the group itself.

Throughout his career, Fernando was dubbed "El Mayimbe of Merengue".

"El Mayimbe" is a phrase that comes from the Taíno, the indigenous people of the Dominican Republic, meaning "village chief".

It eventually came to mean "leader" or "boss".

He would then go into a period of drugs and isolation but never stopped singing, recording some of his best music during that period.

1980

Songs such as "Tabaco y Ron," "Celos," "Te Amo Demasiado," "La Hamaquita," "Dominicano Soy," "Sonámbulo," and "Carnaval" among others became popular in the 1980s.

1990

"Quisqueya," "No Podrás," "Música Latina," "Retorno," and "Me he Enamorado" were some of his biggest hits in the 1990s.

Fernando Villalona participated in the "We are the World" Spanish version, along with other superstars like Shakira, Ricky Martin, and Enrique Iglesias.

2011

In 2011, he celebrated 40 years in the music business and decided to make a Christian album.

In Mi Luz, released October 2011, Villalona praises God, sings about his troubled past and how his life has changed over the years.

2012

In 2012, Villalona recorded "El Color de Tu Mirada" with American singer/songwriter Victoria Daly.

The song was written specifically for Daly by Gilberto de Ose to be sung with Villalona.

The music video was filmed and directed by René Brea in the Dominican Republic.

It was released late November/early December.

2013

The music video went on to be nominated for the 2013 Soberano Awards in April.

Villalona was married to Evelyn Jorge, a woman of Puerto Rican origin, and they have a daughter.
