Synopsis

Product Description
Cuban soul rocker Alex Cuba hails from Artemisa, Cuba (1 hour west of Havana) and resides in Smithers, B.C. (14 hours north of Vancouver). Musically, he lives everywhere in between. "Alex Cuba" is Alex' eagerly anticipated third album, following up on his criticallyacclaimed, Juno-winning albums "Humo de Tabaco" and "Agua del Pozo". His sugarcane-sweet melodies, pop-soul hooks and alt-rock chords subvert commonly held notions of what Cuban music is. The album features Alex' first-ever English track entitled "If You Give me Love". Alex is emerging as "THE" new face of Crossover Latin Music thanks to touring, digital marketing and collaborations with the likes of Jason Mraz and Nelly Furtado. With a heart as big as his retro `fro, Cuba takes it in stride and focuses on what he does best: crafting songs that cut through linguistic and cultural barriers like a machete through sugarcane.

"I can't get enough of Cuba's new album, Alex Cuba. I have the Agua Del Pozo album and it's great but the new album has not left my car cd player. I have no idea what he's saying (except for the song "if you give me love) and it doesn't matter. He's amazing in concert and I encourage anyone to go if given the chance. Try him out, you can't put him in a genre box so widen your horizon!"
