I have bought this album, Which is very good from good recommendation from member Here
How do you call it?
Do you call it, Filin?
Or should we call it since It’s Italian
And there’s A Round on top of the N
Like it is intended that N is made to make an i As often made in logos
To make the name: Filini
Which makes more sense to me?
So what’s the real name of this album?
Filini or FILIN ?
The oval over the “N” is part of the Blue Note logo. The name of the album is “FILIN”, according to bluenote.com .

Chris is right. “Filin” is a style within cuban music. An AI explanation:
Origins: A popular song and crooning fashion in Cuba from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, derived from the English word “feeling”.
Sound: Blends traditional Cuban genres like the bolero , canción , and trova with U.S. jazz harmony and intimate phrasing.

A good use of AI; informative and brief.

That was just Google’s AI response to the query. I agree, just right.
Sorry me,
just check the inside lp’s sleeve and Filin, sort of mean feeling! thanks
So yeah, it is cuban and not italian and it’s Filin, not Filini!
This discussion takes my memory back to the early-mid fifties in Ft Lauderdale FL. The only strong late night radio station reception was from one based in Havana, and oh; that music was so gorgeous. Its talent was so obvious.
Cynically, I want to thank our politicians and corporations for distorting that memorable time in my life. " the poor man plays the fiddle while the rich man dances"
now I understand why the Big room need to be build in Washington! for dancing and reception!
While likely not the music you refer to of 50’s and 60’s Havana, your mention immediately brought to mind Mambo Sinuendo .
