It was written by\u00a0 Panamanian songwriter Carlos Eleta Almar\u00e1n (after the sad death of his brother&#8217;s wife) and first recorded in 1956 by H\u00e9ctor Verela and his orchestra, fronted by singer Rodolfo Lesica. It has been translated in many languages and recorded by countless artists through the years\u2014as well in numerous different instrumental settings (like this one). Thu Le&#8217;s version retains a lot of the tango feel of the original, while adding several lovely ornamental touches. \u2014<em>Blair Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Historia de un amor, Arranged and played by Thu Le, classical guitar\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oWFqabkuhzA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exceptional Vietnamese guitarist Thu Le has long been a favorite of mine, so I was excited to come across this video from last year in which she plays her own wonderful arrangement of the classic song &#8220;Historia de un amour,&#8221; which is one of the most popular songs of all time.
