Mi Sueño (Vinyl LP) Rhythm & Blues

Mi Sueño (Vinyl LP) Rhythm & BluesMi Sueo is the last album by the great Cuban vocalist and Buena Vista Social Club star, Ibrahim Ferrer. It is the project he dreamed of realising all his life an album devoted to the most meltingly romantic of all Cuban styles the bolero. The album was recorded in Havana with a wonderful small group including Roberto Fonseca, piano, Cachato Lpez on bass and Manuel Galbn on guitar.

and its opening track 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' an anthem

Brazilian Tropicalia

Killer psychedelic soul

Not only was he was responsible for a slough of fantastic solo albums throughout the 60s and 70s

The Reworked album includes three new songs as well as 13 re-envisioned versions of classic songs

an MPC 2000XL and a dust-covered Mackie mixing desk

It's a highly textural album that never gets obsessed with its own feel
