IBRAHIM FERRER-BUENOS HERMANOS (SPECIAL EDITION)

In 2003 Ibrahim Ferrer released his second solo album Buenos Hermanos, an audacious and assured album firmly rooted in tradition but at the same time expanding the horizons of Cuban music in the 21st century with its varied repertoire and modern sound.

For this very Special Edition release, producer Ry Cooder has revisited 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 Buena Vista stars Orlando 'Cachaíto' López, Manuel Galbán and Angá Diaz, a guest appearance from The Blind Boys of Alabama, Ry Cooder on guitars and the esteemed Chucho Valdés on piano, the Grammy-winning album's varied repertoire includes fresh takes on classic songs and thrilling examples of the romantic ballads and boleros for which Ferrer is justly famed.

This 180g double vinyl gatefold package 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.
