Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer
World Circuit 055E - a 2 LP set with Gatefold jacket, 16 page booklet & a 12x12 art print
produced in Cuba by Ry Cooder

Ferrer's recorded his first studio album at age 72. It was issued in 1999, and became the top selling Latin album of that year. It later went on to be Latin Grammy nominated for Best Traditional Latin Performance, Traditional Tropical Album, Best Engineered Album,  and after a decades long career, Ferrer won the Latin Grammy for best New Artist!! In his review for Roots magazine, Jon Lusk stated: "The new album strikes a perfect balance between continuity and innovation. There's still that suave subtle old-time acoustic vibe, but there are also plenty of pleasant surprises. (…) Ferrer is said to have hankered to do more boleros throughout his career, and his wish is finally granted here in abundance. The slower tempos predominate, though there are also wonderful examples of guaguancó, son and guajira. The choice of composers reflects his personal history as the little man in the background who has finally got to make the hit album he always wanted." He covers tunes by maestros Arsenio Rodruguez, Celia Romero, Armondo Medina, Benny More, and others.
