Malagueña Salerosa is attributed to Elpidio Ramírez[2] and Pedro Galindo,[3] published by Peer International in 1947[4] (monitored by BMI), although Mexican composer Nicandro Castillo[5] questions the validity of that authorship.

As he mentions: Many have recorded and played this song, in particular Tríos huastecos, Mariachis and Bolero Trios.

But the most famous version was made by Miguel Aceves Mejía with his mariachi.

With Huapangos or Son Huastecos, the falsetto technique is used to great effect, as in David Záizar's version.

Quite a few versions of the song feature vocal gymnastics by whoever sings them, particularly the stretching of vowels such as the "e" sound in the gentilic 'Malagueña' for as long as the singer can hold the note.
