This collection brings you some of the first recordings by Beto Villa's Orchestra produced for the south Texas IDEAL label between 1948 and 1954 by Armando Marroquin. All selections are instrumentals featuring Beto Villa's alto saxophone and represent the wide variety of then popular dances.
In choosing the selections we have tried to emphasize Mr. Villa's beautiful alto sax work on waltzes and polkas but also included other regional and Latin dances which were gaining popularity in the 1950s. The one huapango is performed in the old Tamaulipas tradition with two clarinets taking the lead.
