Florencia "Flor" Caserta (born April 13, 1984) is an Argentine female pop and rock singer.
Biography
Caserta was born in El Palomar, Buenos Aires. She met Pablo Romero, singer of the band {{ill|Árbol (band)|lt=Árbol|es|Árbol (banda)}}, who heard her singing and invited her to make a disc of covers from different bands from El Oeste (the western zone of Greater Buenos Aires). It was there that she recorded her first song, “Mañana en el Abasto”, by Sumo.
