Ibrahim

Sad news, the death of Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer. Ferrer stands out as one of the masters of the son, the uptempo folk song that grew trendy in the late 90s after the release of the Buena Vista Social Club film. Listen to "Bruca Manigua" or "Marieta" and you can't help but smile...you probably can't help but dance a bit, too.
