Angel Viloria y su Conjunto Típico Cibaeño was a merengue band performing in the US Latin community in the 1950s.
It was the first band to enjoy major success in popularizing merengue music outside the Dominican Republic.
Between 1950 and 1952, it notched up a number of hits under the New York based Ansonia Records banner of Rafael Pérez.
In its name, the band claimed to be authentic (tipico) El Cibao music - this is the region in north Dominican Republic, where merengue had its origins.
The style of Angel Viloria's band however reflected more of the urban Alberti influence than the name admits; the accordion was of course, quite tipico.
