Lagrimas Negras

a while back, I mentioned the Trio Matamoros and their song "Son de la Loma."

recently, i found a recording of their song "Lagrimas Negras" probably dating back to the 1940's. i went ahead and set it to pictures of Cuba, which i hope show some of the Cuban realities today.

"Lagrimas Negras" means "Black Tears," and it is a song of lost love and regret.

how very fitting for Cuba today, i thought.
