Grammy Award Winning artist, Alex Cuba, has announced his 17-date “Paralelo Tour”, which will see him perform coast to coast across the continental United States. Named for the multiple projects Cuba has ongoing; completing a new album, performing shows, and working on an intergenerational, historical family musical project titled “Voices of My Family”, the multi-award winning, multi-disciplinary artist will bring music from his genre-defying nine studio albums to stages across the US. Globally recognized as a remarkably talented singer, songwriter, musician, and producer with over 50 million streams to date, Cuba’s music moves sonically and stylistically between genre, era, borders, and preconceptions.

His decorated career has included a Grammy Award, four Latin Grammys, and two Canadian JUNO Awards. He is the songwriter behind half of the Spanish language album by Canadian Icon Nelly Furtado, “Mi Plan”, paid tribute to Carlos Santana at the 24th Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards alongside The Black Pumas and Juanes, and has collaborated with legendary and up-and-coming Latin artists, including Pablo Milanés, Lila Downs, Leonel García, and Cimafunk. His outfit from the 2021 Latin Grammy Awards performance was displayed alongside Taylor Swift at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Most recently, Cuba was recognized as writer and producer on a track Omara Portuondo’s Latin Grammy winning album. He is supported by guitar companies Taylor and Gibson with his acoustic and electric guitars.
