Ibrahim Ferrer Buenos Hermanos: Special Edition (180g Vinyl 2LP)

Special Edition 180g Vinyl 2LP Reissue featuring Four Previously Unheard Bonus Tracks from the Original Album Sessions and Alternative Cover Artwork Plus Booklet with New Foreword from Producer Ry Cooder

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 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 Cooder.
