Cuban-Canadian singer-songwriter Alex Cuba will be on tour in the U.S. this month, playing at the Vibrato Grill Jazz club in Los Angeles on February 18.
He will be performing his newest single from his upcoming album, “El Día Más Triste.” Cuba’s tour, No More Empty Words, starts today in Seattle and will end in Cary, North Carolina on April 5.
His music moves between Tito Puente and Stevie Wonder and shines through songs he’s co-written with Nelly Furtado and Jason Mraz. Cuba has won two Juno awards, four Latin Grammys and a 2022 Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
Though raised in Artemisa, an hour outside of Havana, Alex Cuba's artistry is as far-flung as the place he has settled and lived in for over fifteen years: Smithers, British Columbia, a 14 hour drive north of Vancouver. His music at once incorporates his roots and is a unique amalgam of styles, bringing together melodies, pop-soul hooks and rock chords in songs that may only have an essence of traditional Cuban form.
Alex Cuba carries his Cuba within, incorporating subtle jazz influences gained from his early years as a bass player in Cuba. His tasteful, sophisticated chords and lyrics express his poetry in an undeniably Cuban way. His growing body of work defines a unique musical place in the Latin diaspora.
Though already living in Canada, his debut album was unable to be licensed to a major label, leading to the establishment of his imprint responsible for releasing all of his work from 2007 onward.
