History
Salserin was born on July 21, 1993.
Sony Music Entertainment and producer Manuel Guerr were responsible for this young group,which quickly became the most popular.
Their first singers were Servando Primera, Florentino Primera, José Félix Ceballos and Erasmo Huerta; their first album was recorded in Puerto Rico and Venezuela (Estudios Fidelis), and their first single was the song that became a salsa classic by Manuel Guerra "El Bebé Salsero" with arrangements by Tommy Óscar Villariny and Tommy Villariny, which consolidated Salserín as the youngest children's salsa orchestra in the world.
Their second single is "Señor Cantante" written by Oscar D'León and Manuel Guerra, with the participation of Oscar D'León singing a duet with Salserín and an arrangement by Tommy Villariny.
The third single was "Bella Ladrona" written by Servando Primera and arranged by Ramón Sánchez, the fourth "Mi Gran Amor", an original song by the Jackson 5 whose lyrics were adapted into Spanish by Manuel Guerra and the arrangement by Luis García.
After three years of success, in 1996, they recorded in the Fidelis studios (Venezuela) with the help of engineer Javier González Álvarez, the album entitled "Salserín" and their second CD produced by Manuel Guerra, which includes two new singers: Leonardo Patiño and Toñito León, the new salsa baby and grandson of Óscar D'León.

The success of this new production brings Salserín to television, with its first soap opera "De Sol a Sol", produced by Vladimir Pérez for Venevisión.
"De Sol a Sol" was a sensation in Venezuela and in different Latin American countries.
Sony Music did not miss the opportunity and launched this young group to its definitive internationalization.
On February 1, 1997, the long-awaited film "La Primera Vez" (The First Time), written by Leonardo Padrón and directed by Luis Alberto Lamata, was released in Venezuelan theaters. This film tells the story of the Salserín Orchestra as the most successful group of the nineties and thus they made their first film production alongside Daniela Alvarado and Eileen Abad. This film broke the box office record for a Venezuelan film with 670,000 spectators and was also a success in different Latin American countries.
Their fourth musical production "Con Nuevo Swing" published in October 1998 produced by Manuel Guerra and recorded at the Fidelis Studios in Venezuela by engineer Javier Gonzalez Alvarez, opens with the theme "Donde está el Amor" written by Manuel Guerra and arrangements by Joel Muñoz and Manuel Guerra, leads them to make in 1999 their third dramatic production "Donde está el Amor" written by Manuel Guerra and broadcast by RCTV with great success and manages to be sold in over 35 countries worldwide.
For the first time Salserín participates in a radio soap opera titled "Envíame Mensaje" produced by Alberto Cimino and recorded in the Fidelis Studios by the engineer Javier González Álvarez, which was transmitted by Fiesta 106 FM and by all the FM Center circuit in all Venezuela.
At the end of 2016 Guerra, the director of the orchestra decides to put together a new front end a little more adult but with enough experience to carry out the tour of Salserín's return that took them through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. At this moment, the orchestra is formed by Egiber Guerra, José Manuel Paredes, Christopher Rey, Richard Tamoy, Manuel Marval, Egiber Guerra and Alex Gonzalez.
Members
The Salserín orchestra includes both musicians and vocalists.
These last ones have been the ones that have had more changes through the history of the group, since the concept of "youthful" of the same one forces to renew its vocalists, once these stop being sufficiently young to remain in her.
