The guitar tab (chords and melody) for “Obsesión” by Pedro Flores is available for download as a PDF.
Obsesión
“Obsesión” was written in 1935 by Puerto Rican composer Pedro Flores. A bolero of aching devotion, it became one of his most enduring songs, reflecting the golden age of Caribbean romantic songwriting. Its soaring melody and poetic lyric quickly traveled beyond Puerto Rico, entering the repertoires of Latin American trios and orchestras.
Among its most celebrated interpreters was Daniel Santos, whose dramatic phrasing deepened its emotional pull. The song later gained international exposure through recordings by Los Panchos, helping establish “Obsesión” as a classic bolero standard, intimate in sentiment yet grand in expression.
