La Paloma - Hans Albers {1953}

This recording of La Paloma by Hans Albers is part of the amazing Trikont collection attempting to gather as many recordings of this old song as possible. But when my wife bought this 1953 EP in Hamburg for my birthday, we would not know that Albers was as famous as the tune itself… The way he nonchalantly (not to say drunkenly) sings along with the accordion and an ethereal choir, actually made us thought of the perfect score for a SpongeBob SquarePants episode (the Popeye cliché on the cover is also great)!
