This song appeared on the album TOMAS MENDEZ SOSA: SU VOZ Y SUS CANCIONES ( Thomas Mendez: His voice and his songs) released in 1966 on DIMSA Recods No 1028. It may have been recorded previously. The collaboration between TMendez and Beltran goes back to at least 1952 so it is likely that she also performed this song long before the date given above of 1988.
