?Buenos Hermanos is a feast of boleros delivered with flair by Ferrer, who intuitively conjures up the elegance and languid energy of that
post-war singing style. Yet his assured renditions are full of freshness, not least on classics like "Perfume de Gardenias" which
features the surprising yet cosy crooning of the Blind Boys of Alabama.
Jon Hassell's trumpet on "Fuiste Cruel" is subtly contemporary while the breezy Boliviana, a track originally written by Valdés back in the 70s,
brightens the mix with a pop spin. Demetrio Muñiz's orchestral arrangement on "Mil Congojas" is a luscious counterpoint to the gritty
guitars of Cooder and Galbán.
