Ibrahim Ferrer (20 February 1927 – 6 August 2005) was a Cuban singer who gained international recognition as part of the iconic Buena Vista Social Club, introduced to the world by Ry Cooder in the late 1990s. Despite having retired from his music career earlier, Ferrer went on to release several albums of his own.

His soulful voice and passionate performances captivated audiences worldwide. With influences from traditional Cuban music genres such as son and bolero, Ferrer's music showcased his immense talent and deep connection to his cultural roots.

Similar artists include Eliades Ochoa, Sierra Maestra, Compay Segundo, Ruben Gonzalez, Omara Portuondo, Vieja Trova Santiaguera, Soneros De Verdad, Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodríguez, Los Guaracheros De Oriente, Orquesta Aragón, Cachao Guillermo Portabales , ¡Cubanismo!, Raul Paz Asere Mongo Santamaria Pérez Prado Manuel Guajiro Mirabal.

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.
