Filin (Spanish: filín) was a Cuban, but US–influenced, popular song fashion of the late 1940s to the early 1960s. The word is derived from feeling, and is sometimes spelled feelín or even el feeling. It describes a style of post-microphone jazz-influenced romantic song (~crooning).The Cuban roots of filín were in the bolero and the canción. It was related to the trova: in fact, filín was sometimes regarded as a renewal or reinvigoration, of the old trova.
