Rene Villaneuva

RENE VILLANEUVA

Which brings me at long last to this month’s band: San Antonio’s Hacienda, a Spanish word for a residential estate or plantation. As is often true of Latino bands, Hacienda is a family affair that was formed by Abraham Villaneuva (piano/vocals) and his cousin Dante Schwebel (guitar/vocals) and later added Abraham’s brothers, Jaime Villaneuva (drums/vocals) and Rene Villaneuva (bass/vocals).
