Carribians

The Caribbeans AKA Carribians grew up on Claremont Parkway in the North Bronx. The group consisted of their lead vocalist Tony H. San Antonio with Joe Amador, Tito Ortiz and Valentine Lopez. They spent their time harmonizing in hallways and street corners. It wasn't until 1958 when they released their first record, "I Knew", which had a Latin beat and "Keep Her by My Side" which had a Doo wop sound. The Groups' manager Dorian Burton released the record with 20th Century Fox Records. Another record, "Wonderland / Baby" was released in 1963 by Brooks Records. The Caribbeans performed in numerous small clubs and church dances which were popular during the 50s.
