The Christian Science Monitor, CD Review (from larger text) >>
Pedro Luis Ferrer - Natural
(Escondida): Easily the most whimsical and surrealistically fantastic Cuban songwriter of all time, Ferrer still lives and records in Cuba, where Fidel Castro isn't his biggest fan. Ferrer's lyrics, found in English translation in the CD booklet, are witty, poetic ramblings. His melodically catchy songs are wry commentaries on challenges of daily life, often dealing with romantic disillusionment and the need to maintain one's eccentricity in a society dedicated to heavily policed conformity. Ferrer's spectacularly gifted daughter harmonizes with his modest voice, accompanied by a touch of springy percussion from a homemade drum kit and the ringing backing of Ferrer's tres (Cuban guitar). Grade: A 08/18/06 >> go there
