This is a serious Salsa collectors must have. Unfortunately, this would be his 1st and last soloist LP to be recorded and released before his untimely death in the Bronx on March 27, 1983 - RIP. He was the lead singer for Tommy Olivencia for many years before going solo. Chamaco Ramirez (September 10, 1941 - March 27, 1983) was a famous Puerto Rican salsa singer and composer. He came to prominence and is still mostly remembered for his work as singer of the Tommy Olivencia Orchestra. Early years Ramirez, was born Ramon Luis Ramirez Toro in the Parada 26 section of Santurce, Puerto Rico. A naturally gifted musician since his early youth, at the age of 16 and while still a High School student, he joined Tommy Olivencia to start the orchestra which would bear Olivencia's name and which would later go by the moniker of La Primerisima Orquesta de Puerto Rico,in which Ramirez shared vocals with Paquito Guzman.
