Alex Cuba - Healer

VINYL LP Alex was born and raised in Cuba, studied guitar with his music teacher father and played bass in a pop singer's band, before moving to Canada and launching a career performing his own original works. His music is shaped by the experience of singing in Spanish in an English/French nation and by his choice of a home base in the northern town of Smithers, BC. His latest album, Healer, refers to the need we all face to grow and heal in our livesphysically, spiritually and emotionally. The album includes five bilingual duets with four Canadian singer-songwriters - Ron Sexsmith, Alejandra Ribera, David Myles, and Kuba Oms - and one with New Yorker: Anya Marina. The signature live trio sound is evident on this album from the first song, with vocal harmonies and a Cuban Requinto (small-bodied Cuban guitar) providing an intimate feel and communicating the soul of music. The first single "In 1, 2, 3, 4, " featuring David Myles, will reach radio early March, 2015. It features both artists bridging Latin groove and a simple chord structure in a call to let go of the stresses of daily life and celebrate the choice we have to follow our hearts. The album will hit stores March 31st, 2015 on Alex Cuba's own imprint Caracol Records, distributed by Fontana North. Tour - Alex will tour the album across Canada starting with at show at Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre April 10, 2015.
