Dos Gardenias - Ibrahim Ferrer & Omara Portuondo

Composed by Isolina Carrillo in 1945, this classic found breathtaking renewal on the Buena Vista Social Club sessions. Ibrahim Ferrer, accompanied by the tender vocal responses of Omara Portuondo, interprets the song with the fragile wisdom of old age. Ry Cooder's subtle slide guitar and Rubén González's cascading piano fills frame Ferrer's trembling phrasing, making every line feel like a precious memory.
