In 2003 Ibrahim Ferrer released his second solo album ‘Buenos Hermanos’, an audacious and assured album, with varied repertoire including fresh takes on classic songs and thrilling examples of the romantic ballads and boleros for which Ferrer is justly famed. For this special edition release, producer Ry Cooder has gone back to the original mixes and added 4 previously unheard tracks, recorded at the original album sessions, to a brand new sequence – creating a completely reimagined ‘Buenos Hermanos’. Featuring Orlando 'Cachaíto' López, Manuel Galbán, Chucho Valdés, Angá Díaz, Jim Keltner, Ry Cooder and a guest appearance from The Blind Boys of Alabama. This CD casebound book includes new cover artwork featuring an alternative photograph from the original album shoot by Christien Jaspars, and a booklet with English and Spanish lyrics and a new foreword from Ry Cooder.

Ibrahim Ferrer - Mi Sueno (2007) Music

Posted by tiburon at March 26, 2020

The success of the Buena Vista Social Club series gave Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer the chance to finally begin his dream project in 2005, the recording of an entire album of bolero pieces, the musical form Ferrer loved above all others. Unfortunately the 78-year-old singer died in August of that year while sessions for the project were still underway, and that Mi Sueсo (My Dream) exists at all is in itself a small miracle. Ferrer left behind high-quality vocal demos of the boleros he still intended to record for the album, but these tapes were apparently misplaced and Ferrer's dream seemed destined to go unfulfilled. The demos were eventually recovered, and Mi Sueсo has finally seen the light of day. It is the perfect goodbye from Ferrer, a fitting and beautiful last testament that spotlights his easy and smoky vocals over subtle, non-intrusive arrangements generally featuring pianist Roberto Fonseca, guitarist Manuel Galbon, and bassist Cachito Lopez.
