“I always believed, from the beginning of my career in Canada, that if music is beautiful, it will cross the language.
Because we are all humans.” Alex Cuba
"You'll fall in love with Cuba's untamed voice. Even if you don't understand a lick of what he's saying, you'll feel
him." – New York Post
“Wicked guitar, undeniably soulful vocals. His package is simplicity, and he wears it well.” – Pop Matters
"Staying true to his Spanish-language folk-funk-rock hybrid has paid off." - Billboard
