A decade later, after a new lineup was assembled, the group proved popular once again with hits including "Se Acabó el Amor" and "En Aquel Lugar." Adolescent's Orquesta is essentially the group of Porfi Baloa (piano, keyboards, bass), who is not only the group's producer but also its musical director and primary songwriter. The original lineup of Adolescent's Orquesta was comprised of Wilmer Lozano, Williams Lozano, Armando Guiñan, and Charly Villegas. This original lineup sang on the group's full-length album debut, Reclamando Nuestro Espacio (1995), and also the follow-up album, Persona Ideal (1997), which spawned the respective hit singles "Anhelo" and "Persona Ideal." Adolescent's Orquesta's standout singer, Wilmer Lozano, then departed for a solo career (debuting in 2001 with the album Original) and was replaced by Sócrates Cariaco for the group's third album, La Misma Pluma (1998). Unlike its predecessors, this album failed to spawn a major hit, and the group wrapped up its recording contract with Sony Music in 1999 with the compilation Millenium Hits. After the turn of the century, following several years out of the spotlight, Baloa reassembled Adolescent's Orquesta, hiring a new lineup of young male vocalists: Angel Delgado, Oscar Arriaga, Everson Hernández, and Armando Davalillo. The comeback album Búscame (2005) -- released domestically by Universal Music Venezuela at first and then re-released internationally by Union Music Group in 2008 -- revived the group's fortunes, spawning the major hits "Se Acabó el Amor" and "En Aquel Lugar." In the wake of this comeback, Adolescent's Orquesta released Clásicos en Vivo (2008), a live performance of the group's greatest hits to date. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Y esta es la cancion de los latinos...

Tierra verde donde naci, del campo lindo y de la montaña
de donde nunca quize salir, pero me obligo la circunstancias
no quiero hablar de mi problema, que por que me fui que me ha motivado
ave maria tengo que echar pa' lante, ya no hay remedio soy inmigrante

Me mata el dolor y mas mis familiares

mis amigos queridos, todo lo que quiero, todo lo que amo
mi tierra linda, tierra querida te extraño
si yo soy latino, y quiero volver a verte
me siento latino, y a mucha honrra mi hermano
latino hasta la muerte!

Por que en latinoamerica nacio el sabor
idioma de nosotros bendiga dios, bongo
viva que viva viva viva mi bandera siiii
que viva mi tierra bella!

Soy latino, latino soy, hasta la muerte
a mi familia y amigos de verdad los amo
y a mis seres queridos como los extraño
soy latino, latino soy, hasta la muerte
oye gringo tu tienes que apretar
este swing de nosotros no lo vas a encontrar JAMAS
soy latino, latino soy hasta la muerte...
y puerto rico viva!
santo domingo viva!
linda colombia viva!
chinpun callao viva!
Venezuelaaa que viva!

Cuba, mexico, ecuador, chile, bolivia, panama, costa rica, nicaragua,
honduras, guatemala, el salvador, argentina, paraguay, uruguay, y las
islas antillanas viva mi raza latina!

Si me siento latino de verdad (hasta la muerte)
bacilate mi mambo (uuh! goza pollo ronco)...
el caribe sabanas y montañas
color canela de nuestras mujeres
calor del sol y el canto de un rui señor
nuestra comida criolla herencia del latino
esto si es un sabor.

Ahi mi tierra La Amo!. y como la extraño
hasta la muerte
soy latino, latino soy, hasta la muerte
es el dolor ahora mismo q estoy lejos y la alegria cuando me acerco
soy latino, (Chevere, Chevere) hasta la muerte
el sentir de mi gente es algo tan bello
mi raza latina llevo por dentro. Vaya...
un caballito, en un ladrillito tranquilo no hay gente
Adolescentes...

cuero cuero cuero...
que viva mi rumba!.
que viva el latino
que viva mi gente que no se pierda nuestras costumbres
nuestra identidad nunca se derrumbe

oye latinos demonos las manos!
ya que estamos lejos de la tierra que amamos...
