Alex Cuba, ep. 127: Alex Cuba grew up 50 minutes west of Havana immersed in the music of his town Artemisa. His father, the musician Valentin Puentes, is a household name in the country and prioritized Cuban music in the house growing up. When Alex was six years old, Valentin told his son not to sing, leading Alex to concentrate on his bass guitar playing. As a teenager, Alex rebelled and started soaking in the sounds of American music; blues, jazz, rock and funk. This has lead him to develop a unique style of Latin music that crosses cultures and appeals to people who don't even speak his language. He sings English, but is most comfortable singing in Spanish. We talk about how even though a lot of his fans are English speakers, they often have an emotional reaction to his music even though they don’t know what he's saying. He expands on how emotions transfer via music no matter what language. in 1995, Alex was allowed to tour in Canada with his dad's band and met someone who would fo

3. “Suavemente” — La guerra del merengue: En Puerto Rico, a finales de los noventa el merengue reinaba en la radio y en la televisión. "Suavemente" de Elvis Crespo es quizás el ejemplo más famoso de ese momento — un verdadero éxito que ayudó a popularizar el género en todo el mundo. Pero, ¿cómo esta canción puertorriqueña se convirtió en el merengue más reconocido de un género iniciado por músicos dominicanos? El camino hacia la ubicuidad del merengue en Puerto Rico fue largo y complicado. Dicho camino, coincide con el aumento de la migración dominicana en Puerto Rico y el desarrollo de una batalla cultural librada en clubes nocturnos, "fiestas patronales" y bailes de graduación alrededor de la isla. Las tensiones alrededor de temas migratorios y de raza que se desarrollaron durante ese tiempo continúan al sol de hoy. El reportero Ezequiel Rodríguez Andino cuenta la historia del ascenso del merengue en Puerto Rico, los efectos de esta “guerra musical” y lo que eso nos dice de la compli
