Formed by Santo Domingo-born Billo Frometa shortly after he relocated to Caracas, Venezuela, in 1937, Billo's Caracas Boys continue to perform their unique brand of Afro-Cuban-influenced music as resident band at the Roof Garden of Hotel Madrid. Influenced by such Cuban bands as Orquesta Del Casino De La Plaza, Billo's Caracas Boys built their early repertoire on a mix of guarachos, boleros, merengues, and joropos. Frometa continued to lead the group until his death in 1990. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
