Heat up a cold winter night with the sounds of Alex Cuba.
Singer-songwriter Alex Cuba hails from Artemisa, Cuba (one hour west of Havana) and resides in Smithers, BC. Musically, he lives everywhere in between. His trademark sugarcane-sweet melodies, pop-soul hooks and rock chords subtly subvert commonly held notions of what Cuban music is. Alex is on the vanguard, crafting a cross-cultural sound that mirrors his geographical journey. Not tied to tradition, this Cuban-Canadian prefers his vintage Gibson over el sencerro (cowbell) anytime. Recently, Alex has been writing songs with Nelly Furtado for her new spanish pop album Mi Plan. Check it out on YouTube.
