Billo Frómeta (born November 15, 1915 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - Caracas May 5, 1988) was a Dominican orchestra conductor, arranger and composer who lived and worked most of his life in Venezuela, where he is remembered. == Early career == Luis María Frómeta was born in Pimentel, Duarte Province, Dominican Republic, on November 15, 1915. He would move with his family to San Francisco de Macorís some years later. The school he attended there had compulsory music lessons, so he learned much of his musical training there. In 1930, at the age of 15, he founded and was the resident conductor of the ''Banda del Cuerpo de Bomberos de Ciudad Trujillo'' (Ciudad Trujillo's Fire Brigade's Band). He also founded the ''Orquesta Sinfónica de Santo Domingo'' during this time. In 1933, he moved back to Santo Domingo. During these years, he would meet and work with some of his closest friends and associates: Freddy Coronado, Ernesto Chapuseaux and Simó Damirón, whom he already knew from school . The Conjunto Tropical and the Santo Domingo Jazz Band were formed then, as well. Frómeta then began studying Pre-Medicine in the ''Universidad de Santo Domingo'' and had to abandon all musical activity during this time. However, he eventually dropped out on his third year to dedicate himself fully to music. 〔Duet photo〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Billo Frómeta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
