No Guitars Allowed finds Elmer Ferrer blending traditional Cuban rhythms and percussions with the signature high energy jazz-blues-rock fusion that has brought him international acclaim as one of the world’s premiere modern guitarists. Accompanied by some of Cuba’s most celebrated musicians on this recording, No Guitars Allowed showcases Ferrer’s remarkable talents, both as a guitarist and as a composer. The Album features Canadian singer-songwriter 2007 Maple Blues awarded and 2009 Juno nominee artist Ndidi Onukwulu, who contributes vocals on five of No Guitars Allowed’s 10 tracks. Onukwulu also composed lyrics for one of the album’s centrepiece tracks, an homage to roots called “Sancti Spiritus Blues”, which musical style is based on a traditional rythm from Sancti Spiritus, Ferrer’s Cuban village birthplace. The CD was recorded by (recently!) Grammy awarded Cuban Sound Engineer Orestes Aguila at Abdala Studios (Havana), and mastered by Joe Lambert (Black Label Society, Alice Cooper, Joe Satriani, Herbie Hancock, and so on...) at Joe Lambert Mastering (NYC)
