IBRAHIM FERRER
Of all the larger-than-life personalities that make up the Buena Vista Social Club, Ibrahim Ferrer seemed the least likely to emerge as an international superstar. Mild-mannered and gentle-voiced, Ferrer had sung with many legendary bands in Cuba but had never become a star in his own right. Now he has become the embodiment - the heart and soul - of the multimillion-selling Buena Vista phenomenon. People flock to see Ibrahim Ferrer because of his consummate vocal artistry, because of his warm and humorous personality, and also because by being there they are participating in an archetypal and life-affirming human story - of the little guy who triumphs through adversity, without losing his lust for life or his decency as a human being.

The Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer emerged as the most popular star of the Buena Vista Social Club™ phenomenon. Ibrahim who is pictured on the cover of that classic album, was the audience favourite from the Wim Wenders’ film and went on to record solo albums produced by Ry Cooder and tour the world to a rapturous reception. Now World Circuit is proud to announce the release of his final album ‘Mi Sueño’ (My Dream) the project he dreamed of realising all his life – an album devoted to the most meltingly romantic of all Cuban styles – the bolero.

The result is an album that is firmly rooted in tradition but at the same time expands the horizons of Cuban music and finds Ferrer in bolder voice than ever before.

Described by Ry Cooder as “the lating Nat King Cole”, Ibrahim had retired from music when he was called upon to take part in the Buena Vista sessions. Capturing the fairy tale quality of his musical rebirth, his debut solo album - produced by Ry - is infused with his boundless energy and immense charisma.
