Alex Cuba

Group leader Alexis Puentes represents the new wave of Cuban musicians moving outside the traditional borders of the classic Cuban sound. Afro Cuban musical arrangements and instrumentation are evident in Alex Cuba’s style, juiced by crisp pop songwriting and exquisite melodies. It is original Latin pop/soul music with a unique Cuban approach. A cool, tasty treat for the noontime heat.
