ALEX CUBA
ALEX CUBA
Agua toad Del Pozo (Caracol): A-
Scarcely in clock time for summer, here’s an intoxicating Cuban album that doesn’t owe much to the Buena Prospect Social club or the island’s frenzied timba picture. Or else, Cuban-born Canadian singer/guitarist Alex Cuba (nee Alexis Puentes) draws on the sound of singer-songwriters from Stevie Wonder to Manu Chao to style a generally languid, guitar-propelled sound. Sung dynasty in Spanish, it’s unabashedly pop-smart, exhaustively tropical and wouldn’t sound out of place on a play list with Milton Nascimento or Gilberto Gil. Download: “Muevete.” (Coming into court Midweek at the Regattabar, Cambridge University.)
