DEDICATED TO: My Two Aunts, Pepita & Nena Tostado, To Whom I Owe My Musical Life... Whose Legacy To Me Was Their Love, Faith, Devotion & Discipline.. And "The Redhead", My Ruthe, Who Turned My Life Around.
This Is The First Time This Music Has Been Reissued Since Its Initial Release On 78RPM Records. Most Of The Recordings Were Issued Under The Name Of "Cuarteto Don Ramón Sr." (Don's Father) Or "Don Ramón Y Su Orchestra", Due To The Moratorium Placed On The Recording Industry By James C. Petrillo In 1948.
The Inspiration For Many Of Don's Compositions Was... A Beautiful Women.
Now Residing In Palm Springs, California, Still Practicing Daily& Living His Lifelong Credo Of... LIVE...LOVE...LEARN...AND LEAVE A LEGACY
The Man, The Musician, The Composer - Is Nothing Short Of Phenomenal!
From Composing The Anthem For A Generation & Generations To Come (Pachuco Boogie) To This Anthology Of His Work, DON TOSTI aka "EL TOSTADO" Introduces You To The Many Sides Of His Musical Vision, Which Is Far Reaching. His Compositions Are As Relevant Today As When He Composed Them In The 40s & 50s...
Here Then, For Your Enjoyment, Is DON TOSTI'S Music.
