Luis Ferrer
The Critical Troubadour
Pedro Luis Ferrer counts – together with Silvio Rodríguez
and Pablo Milanés – among the most important representatives of
the Cuban “Nueva Trova” movement of the 70ies.
„I am my own version of what is Cuban. I am my own version of son. I am
my own version of trova. I am even my own version of the Cuban revolution“.
His recent CD's were released by the New York based label Escondida: On both
“Rústico” (2005) and “Natural”
(2006) he finds his very own way of combining Cuban rhythms such as
changuí, trova espirituana and son with instruments that are
rarely used in Cuban music (e.g. cajon and marimbula).
