And the following joined the group: Miguel Carrasco and Osvaldo Rizzo —aka Pichuquito— (bandoneons); Alfonso Bernaba, Julio Graña, José Carli and Eugenio Nápoli (violins) and the singer Armando Guerrico.



In the 60s he put together a trio along with Julio Esbrez (bandoneon) and Alberto Celenza (double bass), later replaced by José Alegre.

In the mid- 80s he put together a sextet with Alberto Vidal and Alberto Zeni (bandoneons), Carlos Piccione and Daniel Magenat (violins), Francisco Rueda (double bass) and Salamanca (piano and leadership). On some occasions he added another bandoneon, played by Carlos Niesi.
