Re Ferrer, because of a Bush administration crackdown on Cuban artists, he was denied a visa to attend the 2004 Grammys to accept an award for best traditional tropical Latin album.
Here's to Bush & his cronies....

R.I.P. Ibrahim Ferrer, Feb. 20, 1927 - Aug. 6, 2005
He doesn't sing on this (or at least I don't hear him), but what a magical voice.
Excellent tune, but certainly not the best from BVSC.

It is a stunning CD -- and the DVD movie is excellent as well!
I also really like Ry Cooder's later collaboration with Manuel Galban:
