Alex Cuba with special guest DJ Turmix

Show Description

Singer-songwriter Alex Cuba hails from Artemisa, Cuba (40 miles from Havana) and resides in Smithers, B.C. (14 hours north of Vancouver). Musically, he lives everywhere in between. His trademark sugarcane-sweet melodies, pop-soul hooks and rock chords subtly subvert commonly held notions of what Cuban music is. Alex's 2nd album Agua del Pozo (Water From The Well), nominated for "Best World Music Album" at Canada's Juno Awards, represents a critically-acclaimed progression from his Juno-winning debut Humo de Tabaco. Not tied to tradition, this Cuban-Canadian prefers his vintage '62 Gibson over el sencerro (his cowbell) anytime.

Direct from Barcelona, Latin music specialist DJ Turmix brings his tantalizing and extensive collection of Latin grooves and rhythms to Joe’s Pub for a special set that will begin directly at 9PM.  Rated one of Barcelona’s top Djs in Time Out Barcelona's recent readers poll and an acclaimed club and radio in Spain, Turmix keeps the crowds dancing to a wide array of rhythms from boogaloo to Brazilian to breakbeats.
