Show Description Singer-songwriter Alex Cuba hails from Artemisa, Cuba (40 miles from Havana) and resides in Smithers, B.C. (14 hours north of Vancouver). 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' 2nd album "Agua del Pozo" (Water From The Well), nominated for "Best World Music Album" at Canada's Juno Awards, represents a critically-acclaimed progression from his Juno-winning debut "Humo de Tabaco". Not tied to tradition, this Cuban-Canadian prefers his vintage '62 Gibson over el sencerro (cowbell) anytime.
