Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer

Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

When the Buena Vista Social Club album was released to great acclaim in 1997, it revived the careers of quite a few incredibly talented aging Cuban musicians. Like Ibrahim Ferrer, most of those musicians (who had been legendary in the '40s through the '70s) hadn't been performing professionally in decades. With the success of the Buena Vista ...

Mi Sueño (2007) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

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 ...

Distinto Diferente (1999) more music like this

by Afro-Cuban All Stars

Introduced into a completely different climate for Latin music compared to the Afro-Cuban All Stars' 1997 debut, Distinto Diferente undoubtedly benefits from the increased commercial and artistic attention given to Afro-Cuban music in the wake of the Buena Vista Social Club (which includes many of the same members). Leader Juan de Marcos González ...

Putumayo Presents: Cuba

Putumayo Presents: Cuba (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Cuba wasn't the first Afro-Cuban compilation that Putumayo released in the '90s. Latino! Latino! had focused on Afro-Cuban sounds from artists in locations ranging from Africa to South America, while Afro-Latino examined the parallels between African and Latino artists. On Cuba, Putumayo's main focus is on salseros who were active in Cuba in the ...

A Toda Cuba Le Gusta

A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (1997) more music like this

by Afro-Cuban All Stars

A lively, spontaneous record that manages to sound both relaxed and forceful at the same time, A Toda Cuba Le Gusta shows off the talents of many of Cuba's elder statesmen of Afro-Cuban jazz. Over gently pulsating conga grooves and low-register ostinatos, such luminaries as pianist Ruben Gonzalez and singer Manuel "Puntillita" Licea float dramatic ...

Buenos Hermanos

Buenos Hermanos (2003) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

Ibrahim Ferrer, the "official" lead vocalist of Buena Vista Social Club, and producer Ry Cooder take numerous chances and many labyrinthine journeys (guaranteed to piss off all of the purists) on their third collaboration for the World Circuit/Nonesuch label, yet manage to come up with the most beautiful fruit of their collaborative efforts to ...

Ay, Candela

Ay, Candela (2005) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

Ay Candela is the most interesting and compelling kind of compilation recording. Not merely a hastily packaged rehash meant to cash in on a vital artist's current reputation: It is, in essence, a history of the singer and his time, his pattern of travel through Cuba's street fairs, small-time recording studios, night clubs, and finally to the ...

Stars of the Buena Vista 21st Century: When Life Begins... (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Besides the fact that it allowed so many great musicians to record again near the end of their lives, another unexpected benefit of The Buena Vista Social Club's worldwide success was that several labels jumped on the bandwagon and began reissuing important material. This 11-track collection on the British label Tumi Cuban includes songs by ...

Oxfam Salsa: Cuba, New York and the Latin Dance Explosion

Oxfam Salsa: Cuba, New York and the Latin Dance Explosion (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Some older Cubans despise the term "salsa," which they see as a corny term that non-Cubans invented to describe Afro-Cuban music. There is a Cuban saying that goes, "Salsa is what I put on my food, not what I listen to." But salsa isn't a disrespectful term -- it's a convenient, practical umbrella term that is applied to son, mambo, cha-cha, ...

The Best Cuban Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

While the title overstates the case, The Best Cuban Album in the World Ever is a very enjoyable mix of recordings by a variety of Cuban artists. Most of the cuts were recorded between the mid-'90s and 2000, with about a third coming from unspecified earlier dates, including a 1965 performance of "Tanga" by Machito and an earlier recording by Beny ...

The Afro-Cuban All Stars are back with a bold new statement for the future. They look boldly toward the horizon with their fourth release, Step Forward: The Next Generation. As the best-publicized "multi-generational" group in the genre, the All Stars may have the best claim of knowledge for what is to come, housing both living legends and ...

by Various Artists

The Buena Vista Social Club's album and film of the same title have certainly stoked the American public's appetite for Cuban music, and this wonderful 14-song compilation builds off the momentum created by that Ry Cooder project. The music itself is incredible from start to finish, featuring some of the most prominent artists in the Cuban son ...

by Ibrahim Ferrer

First things first: The Essential Ibrahim Ferrer is not a hastily assembled, dodgy collection of questionable sound and material designed to cash in on the man's name and legend. Manteca's Cuban Legends series has regularly compiled retrospectives of different artist's works (see the The Essential Compay Segundo volume), paying careful ...

Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this

by Buena Vista Social Club

This album is named after a members-only club that was opened in Havana in pre-Castro times, a period of unbelievable musical activity in Cuba. While bandleader Desi Arnaz became a huge hit in the States, several equally talented musicians never saw success outside their native country, and have had nothing but their music to sustain them during ...
