Description
Though raised in Artemisa, an hour outside of Havana, Alex Cuba's artistry is as far-flung as the place he settled and has lived in for almost ten years: Smithers, BC, 14 hours north of Vancouver. His music at once incorporates his roots in these vastly divergent places and is a unique amalgam of styles: He's a ringer for the Afro-sporting Sly Stone of the `60s, collaborates with peers ranging from Nelly Furtado and Jason Mraz to Ron Sexsmith, and brings together melodies, popsoul hooks and rock chords in songs that bear little resemblance to any traditional Cuban form.
His most recent album Alex Cuba, won him the New Artist of the Year award at the Latin Grammys and nominations for best Latin pop album at the Grammy Awards. The single Directo made an appearance on the charts in Puerto Rico and Germany and gave incentive to the musician singer songwriter to continue the path started with coproducer/musician/engineer Joby Baker. Back in the studio, Alex has crafted new songs including a surprise duet with friend Nelly Furtado, Nadie Como Tu, as well as the single Are You. -
