Servando Y Florentino
Biography
Brothers Servando and Florentino Primera, a popular Venezuelan pop duo billed as Servando y Florentino, experienced remarkable success at a young age, first as adolescent singers in La Orquesta Salserín and subsequently as a teenage salsa-pop act overseen for a while by Ricardo Montaner. After fading away suddenly as the 1990s came to a close and Montaner withdrew his support, the brothers staged a well-received comeback in 2006 with a self-titled album that signaled their maturity as well as a refreshing approach to music-making.

Born in Baruta, which is part of the greater metropolitan area of Caracas, Servando (August 27, 1980) and Florentino (August 31, 1981) are offspring of Alí Primera, a well-regarded musician, poet, composer, and political activist who died in a tragic automobile accident in February 1985. The brothers began their recording careers in the mid-'90s as part of La Orquesta Salserín, a salsa-pop orchestra of kids under the guidance of Manuel Guerra. La Orquesta Salserín debuted in 1993 with La Orquesta Infantil del Mundo, released by Columbia Records, and returned three years later with Con Mucho Swing (1996). Driven by the hit single "De Sol a Sol," which benefited from its association with a telenovela of the same name, Con Mucho Swing became an international success for La Orquesta Salserín.
