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.
