A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Love and Betrayal: Trio Melodicos and "Perfidia"
Today's random tune is by Trio Melodicos, a Cuban trio that I couldn't find too much information on, save that they played classic love songs for a dollar at a famous brothel in Havana, where they were recorded by two Jewish guys who had fled the Nazis and ended up in Cuba. Trio Melodicos here sing a Latin classic song, called Perfidia, written by Mexican composer Alberto Dominguez. It is a song of love and betrayal, and can be found on the 2006 album The Lost Cuban Trios Of Casa Marina, and on the 2015 various artists compilation Putumayo Presents: Vintage Latino.
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
