Villar Records is a record label owned by Mareco, Inc. that also owns the Mabuhay Records label. It was launched in 1950 by the late Manuel P. Villar who is known as the "Father of Philippine Recording" for pioneering industry in the recording of original Pilipino music or OPM. He was also the first president of the Record Industry Association of the Philippines (RIAP). Mareco, Inc. bought original compositions from various Filipino artists and commercially produced recordings of numerous folk songs, kundimans, balitaw and other traditional music from different regions of the Philippines, keeping indigenous music alive in the 1950s and 1960s in the face of American and British imports. It also produced ethnic sounds of the Ilocos, Cebu, Iloilo, Cordillera, Tausug, and Maranao tribes. All these indigenous music recordings were marketed under the labels Mabuhay Records and Villar Records. The company was first to produce a recording of the Philippine National Anthem. Today, Mareco, Inc. is managed by Luis P. Villar from offices in Tirad Pass, Quezon City, Philippines (The studios of radio station 105.1 Crossover, which is owned by the Mareco Broadcasting Network, Inc. is also located here). The company's extensive collection of music recordings is globally distributed through Villar Records International from offices in Manila, Philippines and in Los Angeles, USA. ==Artists== *Ruben Tagalog *Ruben Bisaya *Boy Katindig *Diomedes Maturan *Bobby Gonzales *Ric Manrique, Jr. *Jun Polistico *Celso de Jesus *Leo Valdez *Constancio de Guzman *Felipe Alonzo *Pedro Concepcion *Juan Silos, Jr. *Anastacio Mamaril *Clod Delfino *Leopoldo Silos *Narding Castaneda *Relly Coloma *Romy Tamayo *Amado Trivinio *Eugene Villaluz *Raye Lucero *Kay Cauton *Pilita Corrales *Nora Hermosa *Sylvia la Torre *Cely Bautista *Sampaguita *Conching Rosal *Eva Carrie *Nora Aunor *Carmen Soriano *Mercy Molina *Lirio Vital *Carmelita *Linda Magno *Everlita Rivera *Christie Gatchalian *Tomador Trio *Mabuhay Singers *The New Minstrels *Hot Dog *Davawenas *R.A.R.
