Ibrahim Ferrer - Nuestra Ultima Cita (Official Audio)

Two years after the release of the Grammy Award winning album Buena Vista Social Club, many of the same musicians went back into the studio to record the debut album of Ibrahim Ferrer, one of the stars of the BVSC. With Ry Cooder and Nick Gold producing, this release helped elevate Ibrahim to superstar status.

This album is a collection of eleven songs by the golden voice of Cuban music. Using the Buena Vista Social Club rhythm section and featuring the piano of Rubén González, this album takes the listener on a very different journey to that of any other Cuban record. It is an album of great subtlety and beauty, featuring an extraordinary stylistic range from the nostalgic 1950s American big band style, to stunning ballads with an unusual and opulent guitar accompaniment, as well as rich country-style son.

Ibrahim Ferrer, who had never been famous in his own right in Cuba, emerged as the one true discovery of the Buena Vista sessions. Always known as a musician’s musician with a naturally gentle and unassuming manner.

The thing that always bothered me about this track is how faint the backing vocals of the Gema Cuatro are in the final mix. Because they are so consistently overpowered by Demitrio Muniz's horn arrangement it's hard to not wonder why their vocals even remained at all. This doesn't seem fair to the members of the quartet who can be seen recording the song with Ibrahim Ferrer in the Buena Vista Social Club film. This unfortunately extends to my feelings about the presentation of all the boleros on this album, all of which are beautiful songs and beautifully sung by Ferrer but seem weighted down by Muniz's over-lush string and horn arrangements.
