lthough Alex Cuba's songs are in Spanish, this does not take away from the connection you feel when you see him perform live. Cuba (a stage name, naturally) combines Latin and Jazz influences to create an expert mix of virtuosic guitar music and gentle Spanish melodies. And although he seems like a world musician, he is actually Cuban-Canadian, so you can feel a sense of national pride when you see him do his thing. Even if you've never heard of Alex Cuba, you should check out this show as it's sure to be a highlight of the Calgary concert calendar. Go see the man with the trademark afro and sideburns Saturday at the Grand Theatre.
