New album <\/strong>Ruido En El Sistema<\/strong> out in September.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live at Jazz Caf\u00e9 18 September.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of all the songs on Alex Cuba\u2019s forthcoming album, it\u2019s the one about war that\u2019s the closest to the Cuban Canadian\u2019s heart. It is called \u2018Unanime\u2019 (\u2018Unanimous\u2019 in English), and took the length of the Iraq War to compose, the first words penned as American troops set foot on Iraqi soil back in 2003, and the last notes recorded as the few remaining troops withdrew almost a decade later. \u201cIt is a song that\u2019s an emissary of peace,\u201d Alex says, \u201cthe album starts in a peaceful way and ends in a peaceful way. We have so much noise in our lives these days, that we need to find peace, and music is a way of doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest album is Cuba\u2019s fourth, and as the title \u2018Ruido En El Sistema\u2019, or \u2018Static In The System\u2019 suggests, it is a journey through the many musical and geographical landscapes that shape and form Alex Cuba\u2019s style and delivery with newfound clarity.<\/p>\n

Equally bewitching in Spanish and English, Cuba\u2019s songs, like the softly sung \u2018Por Donde Vas\u2019, are richly woven with the colourful thread of Cuban musical heritage. Equally, Cuba\u2019s Canadian pop and rock influences are firmly felt, with punchy guitars and rhythms that feel at home in Canada\u2019s bars, most acutely felt in the boisterous \u2018Are You.\u2019<\/p>\n

The catchy Spanish duet with Nelly Furtado \u2018Nadie Como Tu\u2019 provides the final finishing sparkle to a cultural and musical evolution, Furtado\u2019s vocals perfectly offsetting Cuba\u2019s, with his signature bass guitar playing style always in the background.<\/p>\n
