I met Alex right away when he arrived on Canadas coast. He was so young. He hardly spoke English. He would sit and play the instruments in my guitar shop. His talent was staggering. One day he asked to borrow a guitar to make a demo. I thought only a good hearted person could play like this young man. So I loaned him the guitar. I was right about him. God smiles when he plays. A good person and tremendous talent.
Thanks for sharing how you and Alex met, interacted and bonded back in the day. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 12th September 2024.
I love Tiny Desk Concerts. Between seeing some of my favorite bands in a new light and being exposed to a ton of new music, this is a much view for me.
Can't understand much as I don't really speak Spanish but I absolutely loved every bit of sound and second of this set. Alex has the voice of an Angel as well, everybody looks like they had the funnest time performing
Alex's voice is like having the warm sun at your back with a gentle breeze in your face. Beautiful songwriter and awesome presence. Cuba's loss is absolutely Canada's gain !
Quién le planta cara al invierno despiadado con voz de madera y una guitarra encendida. Se quita el sombrero de plumas rojas y blancas un guatiní que navega el cielo donde le dice lo suyo al tiempo Alex Cuba 🔥.
I just saw Alex live at the Sisters Folk Festival. Hands down one of the best live performances of my life. A beautiful song writer, emoting every note vocally and on guitar. Y la letra, ay ay, me encanta. La música de Alex es un regalo al mundo.
My excitement when I got this notification ! 😁 Conga break @ 3:11 was tasty and the drummer knew it. 🔥 The beauty of the chord progression @ 15:31 - 15:36 😌❤
Agreed! They’re all loving that special magic when everyone in the band is a collaborative percussionist, (guitar/bass, too), where the simplest yet perfect fills (and the face-melting ones 18:07!) allow the vocals to joyfully float!
A great example of a modern take on the rich musical tradition of Cuba 🇨🇺 My beautiful island full of rhythms ❤. Just brought tears to my eyes as an immigrant that left Cuba more than 5 years ago. Thank so much Tiny desk from Bring Alex .🙏🏽❤️🇨🇺
Huge Alex Cuba fan 😊. I saw him in Washington DC a few weeks ago. So glad he sang De Camino on Tiny Desk!!! It wasn't on his set list at Blues Alley 😢. One of my favorite songs of his. He is an amazing artist.
Months ago I went to his concert here in Miami, it was just simply amazing. Such a talented musician and songwriter. I’m so glad he brought the same musicians to the Tiny Desk, they are amazing as well. Buenísimo Alex 👏🏼
Alex Cuba, es simplemente o totalmente lo máximo, es nuestra representación, es la máxima expresión del buen arte cubano. Sigo Tiny Desk desde hace 5 años y esperaba este momento.
Music to my ears! I learned Spanish from someone from Cuba. This only added to my enjoyment of this talented singer and his band. Bravo! Thanks for the introduction, Tiny Desk.
I first saw Alex Cuba over 10 years ago and he blew me away. We met after the show with his band and they were the coolest, nicest guys. It's amazing to see him on Tiny Desk now. Bravo Alex, felicidades!!
I am a simple woman, give me an intro with a beautiful guitar and voice and I am immediately hooked. This performance was a masterpiece from beginning to end
I am 100% African, from Sudan, and when I hear Cuban music, I consider myself Cuban

And because you took that chance I’m sure you gave him the confidence boost to never give up look at him now! Super cool story! (:
Nothing but good comes when you let your love light SHINE!
Great story and I'm glad you saw it in your heart to loan him that guitar!

Alex Cuba representing small town BC, Canada! Music feels like sunshine but he lives in a tiny mountain town known for its heavy snow and long winter.
