Cuban quintet Los Zafiros released \u201cMi Amor, Perdoname\u201d in 1962. Though the song wouldn\u2019t gain traction in U.S. markets \u2013 blame the embargo \u2013 the group was popular in Cuba, remaining together until the mid 1970s. Now the song is rescued fomr obscurity by Bay Area sensations Andre Cruz and Chris Lujan. The duo give the tune an arrangement that is both true to the original and emblematic of their modern-day signature sweet soul style.<\/p>\n
