The most famous of the Buena Vista Social Club revival, Ferrer puts out his final album. He passed away at the age of 78, three weeks before the final recording was due. On his death bed, he dictated a letter asking that this, his “dream recording,” be completed. Fortunately the high-quality demo tapes were produced. -PFula Flute
