Alex Cuba

Alex Cuba's songs and personality bridge across his Latin and non-Spanish speaking fans. His has the ability to work the crowd while playing acoustic and electric guitar, singing, and encouraging the audience to sing the chorus. He even simplified one complex chorus into la-la-la-la, LOL. And did a passable trumpeting with his voice and lips. The Anvil Centre is loverly with underground parking, access to the Skytrain, pre-orders for drinks at intermission, comfortable seats with good sight lines, and a very interesting art exhibition curated from several women I would love to see him perform with a backing band, letting his voice and lyrics fully take the pedestal he keeps his awards on. He told us to "go wild" when he said the name of the next song. We helped him feel like a Rock Star with our applause, cheers, and whistling. And he didn't abuse our support, moving from song to unnamed song without the need for our adoration. One nit, he had CD's, LPs, and stickers for sale but for cash only. I was not prepared! I will have to get a sticker another time or way.
