Filled with sugarcane-sweet melodies, pop-soul hooks and powerful guitar riffs, Alex Cuba’s music relinquishes a conventional stereotype that exemplifies much of the Latin music landscape. He’s always exploring, always creating something fresh and new, and always, it seems, getting it just right. In 2022, Alex performs music from his 2019 Latin Grammy nominated album, Sublime, and his 2021 release, Mendó.
Alex Cuba is a Latin Grammy/Juno winner, singer-songwriter who is not tied to tradition; Alex has a vast musical vision.
Born Alexis Puentes in Artemisa, Cuba, was immersed in music at a very young age, joining his father’s group of 24 guitarists. Alex then went on to study electric and upright bass and touring and recording nationally and internationally.  Relocating to Canada in 1999, Alex went on to record his solo debut album Humo De Tobaco (produced by Martin Terefe), which earned him a Juno award for World Music Album of the Year in 2006, with tours in Canada, Japan and the US.
