warm person that he was, Ibrahim Ferrera realized his life-long desire of getting his due credit recognized when the self-titled "&lt;a href="http://www.thephatplanet.com/buenavistasocialclub.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Buena Vista Social Club&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" album won them a Grammy in 1997. With the platinum-selling 1999's "Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer", he took home the 2000 Latin Gammy for best new artist, an album he recorded at 70 yrs of age:)! Shortly after, his "Buenos Hermanos," won a Grammy for best traditional tropical Latin album in 2004. Truly impressive and a big inspiration to all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;oujours homble, doux et chaleureux, Ibrahim Ferrer voit ses efforts reconnus quand l’album &lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thephatplanet.com/buenavistasocialclub.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Buena Vista Social Club&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;" leur apporte un Grammy en 1997. Et il rapporte en 2000 un Latin Grammy pour meilleur nouveau artiste avec l’album de 1999-"Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer”, qu’il avait enregistré l’âge de 70 ans:)! Peu après, avec son disque "Buenos Hermanos," il gagne un Grammy en 2004 pour meilleur album traditionel tropical.

Although I had planned to but never got to meet him, I know I will feel the loss for a long time since I always admired his talent and the wonderful music he made with his genius of a group the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Buena Vista Social Club.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Ferrer, the entire Buena Vista ensemble, and the late &lt;strong&gt;Celia Cruz,&lt;/strong&gt; have among many other factors always been a great inspiration to my desire to soon go live in Cuba. I have &lt;a href="http://akiey.blogspot.com/2005/05/turn-it-into-happy-home.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;blogged&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://tafsiri.blogspot.com/2005/05/jy-passerai-de-beaux-jours.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;written&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp; talked about this and all who know me well know I've been serious about it since my mid-teens. &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 447px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="223" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3172/818/320/Gonzalez_Ruben1.jpg" width="338" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Very good friends: Ibrahim Ferrer &amp; Ruben Gonzales&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; am currently working on a tribute image as well as the text in French.

A book with teachings from the ancient wisdom of Tao that are “an ideal companion on the path to long life.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Five books that mean a lot to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;1) The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;3 holy books&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jews, Christians &amp; Muslims&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.

Book that inspired the Tv series &amp; mini-movies, It’s the most elaborate account of Africans’ journey from the Motherland, the Middle Passage &amp;amp; all the way to the New World-America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Last book(s) you've read?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Frida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, a biography of Frida Kahlo, by Hayden Herrera.

Grrrrrr, hahaha!!&lt;br /&gt;----------&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;otal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; number of films I own on dvd/video: At least 35 DVDs and 5 videos. Only 2 videos taped from Tv, the rest original copies. Just like my music, I have no bootlegs or downloads---I oppose illegal downloads (theft) for anyone living in N. America.&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;he&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; last film I bought: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ray&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, 2 weeks before the Oscars.&lt;br /&gt;3.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;he&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; last film I watched:&lt;br /&gt;At the movies: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Crash&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (amazing, must-see movie.

Am sure they’ll get at least 2 awards this yr)&lt;br /&gt;-On Tv, last evening: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Faith of My Fathers &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: The Story of Senator John McCain as a POW in Vietnam. Very moving story. Like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://betweenandbetwixt.blogspot.com"&gt;wg-k&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, will add a few movies I plan on watching soon:&lt;br /&gt;*At the theatre: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hustle &amp; Flow&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; opening late June (another great one starring Terrence Howard &amp;amp; Ludacris)&lt;br /&gt;*On Tv or at home: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sometimes in April&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, as is highly recommended &lt;a href="http://ciruni.blogspot.com/2005/05/sometimes-in-april.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by my friend &lt;a href="http://ciruni.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wanjiru&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. She admits it’s a masterpiece in the same calibre as Hotel Rwanda.&lt;br /&gt;Not a movie, but more of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usanetwork.com/series/kojak/images/kojak_lg.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Kojak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Tv series starring &amp; produced by the incredible &lt;a href="http://www.stevewilkie.ca/users/SteveWilkie872/images/SteveWilkie87243390.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Ving Rhames&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Sundays 11pm on USA Network)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;ive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;films&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me: am more into music than movies but will try:)&lt;br /&gt;· &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Malcolm X&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, Denzel brought the civil rights leader to life in ways I couldn’t ever imagine. Props to him, the entire cast &amp;amp; Spike Lee for keeping it very real (like it so much have both tape &amp; DVD).&lt;br /&gt;· &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Ray&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;…what’s not to say about Jamie Foxx's masterpiece of a performance that brought the great Ray Charles Robinson to life!? The whole cast including Regina King, Larenz Tate (am a big fan!) as the young Quincy Jones, Clifton Powell, et al was just perfect. Taylor Hackford (director) did this movie the justice it deserves.&lt;br /&gt;· &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Tupac Resurrection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: There’s very little my siblings &amp;amp; I don’t know about the Man, the Myth &amp; the Legend but this movie brings out the often ignored human side of Amaru Shakur. It successfully highlights his deep spiritual, emotional, and intellectual side that makes him a world-renowned figure. Forget the F-word in his music, don’t crucify him for using it on his detractors (I know I could do worse to mine). Listen to the profound, life-changing &amp;amp; uplifting message in his lyrics &amp; poetry. Props to his mom Afeni &amp;amp; MTV’s Lauren Lazin for a job well done.&lt;br /&gt;Update: Dru Ryan, a loyal fan wrote a scholarly paper on 2Pac for his class: &lt;a href="http://classweb.gmu.edu/ajryan/pac_right.pdf"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://classweb.gmu.edu/ajryan/pac_right.pdf&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;· &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amistad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: I am passionate about all things to do with slavery &amp; the slave trade. This is more than a movie to me. It’s a look at human, racial relations &amp;amp; the prejudice that comes with them. The good &amp; bad sides of Black &amp;amp; White and what should be done to harmonize relations…more than 500 yrs since the inhuman trade flourished. Plus, “Gives us free” always cracks me up:)!!&lt;br /&gt;· &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Casino&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Robert Deniro &amp; Joe Pesci are among my most fav actors &amp;amp; they do a great job alongside Sharon Stone in personifying the main players in the events that led to turning Las Vegas into the “gaming capital of the world”. Many of life’s lessons in this movie too.&lt;br /&gt;· Am a big fan of Mob movies, books &amp; docudramas. Blame that on reading Mario Puzzo’s The Godfather, &amp;amp; The Sicilian at 14yrs old, and by 17 yrs old had twice read The Valachi Papers, The True Confessions of a Mob Leader &amp; The Stiletto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Tag five people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and have them put this in their journal: The tag came as a surprise to me but I kinda enjoyed doing it. Hope the following don’t mind keeping it going.... so I will tag &lt;a href="http://bangaiza.kylix.co.ke"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Maitha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ciruni.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Wanjiru&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://afromusing.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Afromusing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ajkenswi.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Adrian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://guessaurus.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Guessaurus&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
