Pedro Luis Ferrer

Cubas Maverick Troubadour at Colston Hall, Bristol 

Currently redefining what it is to be Cuban, Pedro Luis Ferrer provides a fresh take on the islands by stepping away from the salsa fixation of most bands visiting these shores to present heart achingly beautiful vocal and guitar music that is winning much critical acclaim. Pedro Luis Ferrer is not a new voice from Cuba but he has always taken his own path, sometimes to the annoyance of his government. His witty lyrics chronicle everyday life in sometimes surprising ways; take the song about the protest by cattle against artificial insemination (they prefer the ‘old way’) and you get the picture.
