Free Music Notes for Ay, Candela
Free Music Review: Great sample of ferrer's earlier work
Hit: 4 Stars
If you're a fan of the great, recently departed Ibrahim Ferrer, you will find this album to be a interesting window into the work he did during the decades before he retired, before hooking up with the Buena Vista clan. If you're a more casual listener of Cuban music, I'd recommend sticking with Ferrer's more recent albums, as they are produced to better enhance the beauty of his voice.
It is important to note that the music on this cd was actually recorded from the 1960s to the 1980s, not in the Buena Vista era.
Ay, Candela Poster
2011 two CD compilaiton from the Cuban legend. Born in a nightclub in Santiago de Cuba in 1927 and orphaned at the age of 12, Ibrahim Ferrer spent life on the streets singing for his supper. Santiago rivals Havana for musical heritage and, overlooking the Bahia de Santiago, boasts perhaps the most Caribbean feel on the island, as well as some of its best museums. It was into the hospitable street culture, where it's said a friend is as valuable to a santiaguero as the water he drinks, that Ferrer found his feet as a singer. Ibrahim Ferrer achieved phenomenal international success through the Ry Cooder produced and Grammy award winning Buena Vista Social Club recordings, a project which turned Ibrahim's life around. Here are two discs of his original recordings from Cuba; songs and performances from a 'golden age' of this most seductive and elegant music. Metro Select.Happy, bright, sparkling, brilliant: in all honesty, there simply aren't enough colorful adjectives to accurately describe the palpable, inherent joy in the music of Cuban master Ibrahim Ferrer. All the shades of the rainbow--and more--are showcased beautifully on Ay, Candela, a vivid, varried collection of classic tracks. The assembled songs span the 1960s, '70s, and early '80s, but they sound as fresh and vibrant as anything recorded in the last few years. Ferrer is a master of delivery, and he works wonderfully alongside the expert musicians and background vocalists. It makes for some great moments, particularly during the joyous "Mi Tonada Montuna," "Manana Me Voy Pa' Sibanicu" and the title track. Ferrer's best moment, however, comes during the stirring "Una Fuerza Immensa," a lush, captivating bolero that conjures images of swaying palm trees and slow-dancing couples. It's a standout amid an album of outstanding consistency. --Joey Guerra
