Ibrahim Ferrer (February 20, 1927 – August 6, 2005) was a popular Afro-Cuban singer and musician in Cuba. He performed with many musical groups including the Conjunto Sorpresa, Orquesta Chepin-Choven and Afro-Cuban All Stars. Later in life, Ferrer became a member of the internationally successful Buena Vista Social Club. == Life == Ferrer was born at a dance in San Luis, near the city of Santiago de Cuba. His mother died when he was 12, leaving him orphaned and forcing him to sing on the streets (busk) to earn money. The next year, Ferrer joined his first ever musical group—a duet with his cousin—called Jovenes del Son ((スペイン語:Youths of Rhythm)). They performed at private functions and the two youths managed to scrape together enough money to live. Over the next few years, Ferrer would perform with many musical groups, including ''Conjunto Sorpresa'' and ''Orquesta Chepin-Choven''. The leader of the latter composed one of Ferrer's biggest hits, ''El Platanal de Bartolo''. Ferrer was an adherent of the Santería faith, a blending of traditional African religions and Catholicism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ibrahim Ferrer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
