The enormously talented (and coiffed) Alex Cuba (nee Puentes) came to Canada from his native land about 10 years ago. He has been writing and recording music ever since, and has been creating ever more beautiful tunes throughout the years. His self-titled album has just been released, and he spoke with Cal Koat about the creative process and a dream that brought him a wonderful new song.
