SAN ANTONIO, TX — Two-time Latin Grammy winner Michael Salgado is giving fans an early gift this fall with the release of his heartfelt new single, “Mi Primer Amor,” available on all digital streaming platforms beginning October 31, 2025. The track offers listeners a first glimpse into Salgado’s forthcoming album, Homenaje A Mis Ídolos Vol. 2, due out December 19, 2025.
Self-produced by Salgado, the song carries deep sentimental value for the Tejano star known affectionately as El Zurdo de Oro. “It was one of my favorite songs that I used to perform when I was just starting out in music,” Salgado shared. “I always loved it and finally decided to record it.”
Originally recorded in 1984 by Ramon Ayala y Los Bravos del Norte, “Mi Primer Amor” has remained a beloved classic in Tejano music. For Salgado, covering this timeless hit is both a personal tribute to his musical beginnings and a nod to one of his earliest influences. “While I was putting together songs for this new album, I remembered this one as a great song from back then,” he said. “The message is for everyone who’s ever known their first love. For me, music has always been my first love ever since I was 8 years old.”
